I was in a cookie making mood a few nights ago and had already started stirring a batch together when I discovered that I was out of chocolate chips! (Side note: How does that even happen?) I scrounged through the pantry and decided to work with what I had on hand. Lo and behold, I’ve found my cookie nirvana. Caramel Pretzel Cookies turned out to be my kryptonite.
I found myself grabbing a cookie to snack on every time I walked through the kitchen all weekend. Remember these Ultimate Salted Chocolate Chip Cookies and these Coconut Lover’s Oatmeal Cookies? I’ll rank these Caramel Pretzel Cookies right up there with both of my favorites. I’m planning to make these cookies again with my holiday cookie gifts and I can hardly wait. I shared these with friends over the weekend and they were a hit with everyone who tried them. For any fan of salty and sweet treats, these cookies are pure heaven! Are you already a fan of salty sweet treats? Check out these Salty Sweet Butterscotch Brownies, this Sweet and Salty Chocolate Layer Cake, and this Sweet and Salty Christmas Mix for a snack you won’t be able to resist. Crunchy, sweet and salty old fashioned Haystacks bring my Grandmother’s kitchen to mind every time I make them. Check out all of the Gluten Free Dessert Recipes on this website! Kitchen Tip: I use these caramel bits, these sheet pans and this cooling rack to make this recipe. {originally published 12/9/12 – recipe notes and photos updated 6/10/22}
