Bake soft, chewy cookies loaded with sweet caramel centers and crunchy, salty pretzel pieces. This recipe brings together the perfect sweet and salty combination for a delightful treat.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter, softened
  • 3/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 3/4 cup packed light brown sugar
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 tablespoon vanilla extract
  • 2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup chopped salted pretzels, plus extra for topping
  • 1 cup soft caramel candies, unwrapped and slightly flattened

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line baking sheets with parchment paper.
  2. In a large bowl, cream together the softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy.
  3. Beat in the eggs one at a time, then mix in the vanilla extract.
  4. In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour and baking soda. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined.
  5. Fold in the chopped salted pretzels.
  6. Scoop about 1 tablespoon of dough and flatten it slightly in your palm. Place one flattened caramel piece in the center.
  7. Wrap the dough around the caramel, fully enclosing it, and roll it into a ball. Place the dough balls on the prepared baking sheets, about 2 inches apart.
  8. Gently press a few extra pretzel pieces onto the top of each dough ball, if desired.
  9. Bake for 9 to 11 minutes, or until the edges are set and lightly golden. The centers will look slightly underdone.
  10. Let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely. The caramel will be very soft when warm.

Notes

  • For the best caramel centers, use soft, individually wrapped caramel candies.
  • Chilling the dough for 30 minutes before baking helps prevent the cookies from spreading too much.
  • If you prefer a less intense salty flavor, use lightly salted pretzels.
  • Store cooled cookies in an airtight container at room temperature.
