What You Need for Chocolate Chip Butterscotch Pretzel Cookies<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Let’s talk ingredients real quick! You’ll start with unsalted butter \u2014 and trust me, using browned butter here adds a nutty flavor that takes the flavor of the cookie to a whole other level. Make sure your cooled brown butter and eggs are at room temperature for best results. In a large bowl or the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, beat together the cup butter, brown sugar, and white sugar until fluffy. You can also use an electric mixer or hand mixer on medium speed. In a separate bowl \u2014 a medium bowl works great \u2014 whisk your dry ingredients: all-purpose flour (yes, purpose flour packed!), baking soda, and teaspoon salt. Slowly add the flour mixture to the wet ingredients on low speed, then fold in your mix-ins with a rubber spatula.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
