Toot. Toot.
Do you hear that? It’s my horn. And I’m the one ringing it.
Because these cookies are that good. These little lovelies are an amped on version of these cookies.
And not that I need an excuse to eat sweets but it does make me feel less guilty when I’m digging into my fifth cookie of the day.
The past month has been pretty stressful around here, so I think I’ve been using it as a crutch to feed myself full of the sweet stuff.
Which is kind of messed up now that I think of it. Because I’m essentially using my husband’s staph infection as a justification to eat more chocolate.
Whoa.
I might need some form of professional help.
But I don’t have time for professional help. I’m too busy trying to accomplish the 836 other things I have on my list. So you know what? I’m going to eat my chocolate. And I’m not even going to worry about it. So there.
But enough about me, let’s talk about these cookies.
These should be called the motherload cookies because they have it all.
Dark chocolate cookie dough. White and milk chocolate chips. Crunchy pretzel pieces and a sprinkling of sea salt on top.
Magical.
Perfect with a cup of coffee, a cup of tea, a glass of milk, a drink of water, they’re good for breakfast, a mid day snack, a quick dinner, lunch on the go………..you get the picture.
Off. The. Charts. Good.
So please, go make some. And if you would, eat way too many and then email me, tweet me, or facebook me and tell me about it.
It will make me feel better.
‘Cause misery happiness in a cookie loves company, right?
Triple Chocolate Cookies with Pretzels and Sea Salt
Ingredients
- 1 cup (2 sticks) butter, room temperature
- 1/2 cup packed brown sugar
- 3/4 cup white sugar
- 2 eggs
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 2/3 cup cocoa powder
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon table salt
- 3/4 cup white chocolate chips
- 3/4 cup milk chocolate chips
- 1/2 cup crushed pretzels
- coarse sea salt for sprinkling
Baking Directions
Preheat the oven to 375F degrees. In a large bowl, beat the butter and sugars together until light and fluffy. Add eggs one at a time and mix until well incorporated. Add vanilla and mix well. In a small separate bowl, whisk together the flour, cocoa powder, baking soda and table salt. Slowly add the flour mixture to the egg mixture and mix just until combined. Stir in the chocolate chips. Scoop the cookie dough by the tablespoon onto a parchment lined cookie sheet. Gently press a few of the crushed pretzels on top and sprinkle with a pinch of sea salt. Bake for 10 minutes. Transfer baked cookies to a cooling rack and let cool. Then devour.
Welcome to my kitchen! I'm a personal chef, wife and mama of two young boys. I Love butter, snowboarding and laughing out loud.
As soon as I regain vision from the glory of this post, I’ll make em. And then most likely pass out.
YUM! These are right up my alley. Pretzels in a cookie? Genius!
The best of it all. Salty, sweet, crunch, chewy. And chocolate. Doesn’t get much better!
Wow! I love everything about this cookie. I am sure I could eat a dozen!
Yeah, me too……..in one sitting!!
I love the motherload cookies already! AND I think chocolate counts as professional help.
Another reason why I like you so much Becky!!!
These are a step up form eating cookies filled w/ pho’s. So essentially, that means their healthy?!?! Go with it, these are healthy, and give you the energy you need to accomplish those 800 things you need to! Chocolate has antioxidants. Do I need to continue on why these are actually HEALTHY?
Sounds like the perfect treat to cheer you up!
Yes, except my pants my disagree!
If anyone deserves to eat cookies you do. It would be very dangerous if these were at my house!
anything with chocolate and pretzels is a winner in my book. Yum.
Agreed!
So these really have everything in life that I love in one little package.
How cool is that?
Very cool. And tasty!
Let’s just say I’m a weirdo…who doesn’t LOVE chocolate. But chocolate with sea salt and pretzels I LOVE. Yep…it’s all about what’s hanging out with the chocolate. These look freaking amazing. OMG.
I don’t think you’re a weirdo, but I do think it’s weird that you don’t like chocolate! I thought everyone likes chocolate!!
I’m all for comfort in a cookie! These look absolutely amazing!
You have every reason to be tooting your horn. These look and sound insanely delicious!
yum these sound and look great! Miss you
hmm…. I hope you get your stress relief soon… and eat as much chocolate as you want, we know we can’t resist!
I made these tonight and they were a big hit with the insufferable teenager! I was sick from eating too much dinner so I couldn’t try one
. It’s what I’m planning on eating for breakfast.
Cookies make great breakfast food! Enjoy!!
