  • 3/4 cup (45g) crushed pretzels
  • 3/4 cup (30g) thick ripple potato chips

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 350°F (180°C).
  • In a bowl, add all your mix-ins and toss together. Set aside.
    3/4 cup (45g) crushed pretzels, 3/4 cup (30g) thick ripple potato chips, 3/4 cup (150g) mini chocolate chips, 3/4 cup (132g) toffee pieces, 3/4 cup (150g) chopped milk chocolate
  • In the bowl of your stand mixer, cream together the butter, granulated sugar and brown sugar until light in color and fluffy in texture. You will want to mix for about 2 minutes.
    1 cup (222g) salted butter, softened, 1 cup (246g) brown sugar, 1/2 cup (115g) granulated sugar
  • Scrape down the sides of the bowl and add the egg and vanilla. Mix until well incorporated.
    1 egg, 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • Next, add in the flour, baking soda, and salt. Mix until a soft dough forms.
    2 1/4 cups (342g) all-purpose flour, 1 tsp baking soda, 1/2 tsp salt
  • Add your mix-ins and mix on low until evenly distributed.
  • Portion out your dough using a #12 scoop.
  • Create a crater in the center of each dough ball and place 2 unwrapped soft caramels inside the dough. Form the dough around the caramels, sealing them in. Stud the tops with a few extra pretzel and chip pieces for more texture and visual appeal.

  • Arrange 6 dough balls on a parchment lined cookie sheet and bake at 350°F for 12-14 minutes or until the tops no longer look glossy and start to brown slightly.
  • Once removed from the oven, allow the cookies to cool completely on the pan.
  • Store in an airtight container on the counter for 3 days or in the freezer for up to 3 months.
