10.1.20 Double Chocolate Pretzel Cookies

Cookies are my go-to dessert to have on hand. It’s so easy to make a big batch and freeze them so anytime you’ve got a get together or just have a case of the Sunday scaries, you’ve got delicious cookies in just a few minutes! And these have the appearance of being fancier than your traditional chocolate chip cookie, but are just as easy and freeze just as well!

I’ve made a few changes to my usual cookie recipe and it’s definitely a good thing – these are soft, delicious, and have a perfect chocolate-y flavor that’s not too much, but also not too faint. It’s a careful balance! And the addition of cream of tartar is such a game changer – that’s what has created the perfect soft, delicious texture. You can absolutely leave it out if you don’t have any, but I think it’s worth grabbing next time you’re at the store!

And, a fun little tip for you – if you want something extra special, you can combine this recipe and my more traditional chocolate chip cookie recipe for a swirled experience that’s amazing. I left out the pretzels from this recipe, and used only dark chocolate chips for the normal chocolate chip cookies, then rolled together half a scoop of each dough to create a swirled situation that’s so special. Top it with some flaky salt and it’s a real winner!
