Chocolate Salted Caramel Pretzel Cookies

You guys are loving our Salted Caramel Pretzel Chocolate Chip Cookies right now. They are going crazy on Pinterest and Facebook. I am so glad because they are one of my favorite cookies. I was going to make them the other day because Pinterest had me craving them like mad, but I decided to do a spin off of the cookies. I am always up for trying a new cookie recipe. This time, I made Chocolate Salted Caramel Pretzel Cookies. Oh man, they are soooooo good! Now, I don’t know which cookie I like better. They are both incredible.

The chocolate cookies are made with cocoa and chocolate chips. The chocolate flavor is rich and intense! There are pretzel pieces in the chocolate cookies AND an extra special surprise. Wait for it….a chewy, gooey caramel center! To complete the sweet and salty theme, I sprinkled the cookies with sea salt.

INGREDIENTS:

• 2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
• 3/4 cup Dutch process cocoa
• 1 teaspoon baking soda
• 1/2 teaspoon sea salt
• 1 cup unsalted butter, at room temperature
• 1 cup granulated sugar
• 1 cup packed brown sugar
• 2 large eggs
• 1 1/2 teaspoons vanilla extract
• 1 cup chopped pretzels
• 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
• About 20 caramel candy squares, cut in half (I use Kraft caramels)
• Sea salt, for sprinkling on cookies

DIRECTIONS:

1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or Silpat baking mat or parchment paper. Set aside.
2. In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, cocoa, baking soda, and sea salt.
3. With a mixer, cream butter and sugars together until smooth. Add in eggs, one at a time. Next, add in vanilla extract and mix until combined.
