Ingredients
- 1/2 cup softened butter
- 1/2 cup brown sugar
- 1/2 cup white sugar
- 1 egg
- 2 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
- 6 tbsp unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1/2 tsp baking soda
- 12 caramel squares, halved
- 1/2 cup dark chocolate chips
- 1/2 cup pretzels
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line baking sheets with parchment paper.
- In a large mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter, brown sugar, and white sugar until the mixture is light and fluffy.
- Beat in the egg and add the vanilla extract. Mix well until the ingredients are thoroughly combined.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, unsweetened cocoa powder, and baking soda.
- Gradually add the dry ingredient mixture to the wet ingredients, mixing until a soft cookie dough forms.
- Gently fold in the halved caramel squares, dark chocolate chips, and pretzels until they are evenly distributed throughout the cookie dough.
- Using a cookie scoop or a spoon, drop rounded portions of dough onto the prepared baking sheets, leaving enough space between each cookie.
- Bake in the preheated oven for approximately 10-12 minutes or until the edges are set but the centers are still soft. Be cautious not to overbake.
- Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheets for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
- Once the cookies have cooled, serve and enjoy the delightful combination of sweet chocolate, gooey caramel, and crunchy pretzels!
