Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup unsalted butter, room temperature
  • 1 cup sugar
  • 1 cup brown sugar, packed
  • 2 large eggs, room temperature
  • 2 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1 tsp baking soda
  • 2 tsp hot water
  • 3 cups flour
  • 1 cup milk chocolate morsels
  • 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chunks
  • 1 cup pretzel pieces
  • 1 cup Kraft caramel bits
  • 2 tsp flake salt


Instructions

  • Take out butter and eggs from the refrigerator and sit them on your counter. They will both need to be room temperature.
  • Preheat the oven to 350º and grease your cookie sheet.
  • Chop up pretzel pieces and set aside.
  • Cream together butter and both sugars with paddle attachment for 1-2 minutes on low.
  • Beat in eggs (one at a time), on low, just until batter is combined.
  • Stir in vanilla.
  • Dissolve baking soda in hot water and add to batter.
  • Sift flour and add to batter, 1 cup at a time. Mix on low-medium until combined. Make sure not to over mix.
  • With a wooden spoon, stir in chocolate chips, chunks, pretzel pieces and caramel bits, until evenly distributed.
  • Using a scoop, scoop onto cookie sheet, leaving a 2 inch in between each. Press down on each gently so that they are flat on top.
  • Sprinkle each with flake salt.
  • Bake for 12 minutes.
  • Remove and let cool on baking sheet for 5 minutes and then move to cooling rack.
