Here is a chewy cookie made with all the yummy flavors of comfort. Chocolate, caramel, pretzel kitchen sink cookies are a great cookie to make this season.
Chocolate Caramel Pretzel Kitchen Sink Cookies
Cream together the butter and sugar. Making sure you mix the butter and sugar until light and creamy is very important. My cookies came out much better once I ensured all was mixed, light and fluffy. I now just turn on the mixer and let it run for 5-6 minutes. Don’t stand and watch it, it takes longer.
Add the dry ingredients and mix. Then add your peanut butter, caramel, chocolate chips and pretzels – mix only until incorporated. I jog the mix at this point.
Bake!
Some ideas: add cocoa powder and mint chips, with pretzels, instead of peanut butter chips and chocolate chips.
I would decrease flour by 1/4 cup if you use a 1/4 cup of cocoa powder. If you try this, comment and let me know! I haven’t tried it, so no promises, but it sounded good!
