Dark Chocolate Covered Pretzel Cookie Bars
If you love dark chocolate, pretzels, and cookies, you'll LOVE these Dark Chocolate Covered Pretzel Cookie Bars!
Ingredients
- 2 ¼ cups flour
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 2 sticks butter softened (like I said, 1 salted & 1 unsalted)
- ¾ cup sugar
- ¾ cup packed brown sugar I used light brown
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 eggs
- 1 cup crushed dark chocolate covered pretzel thins
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350 degrees and set out a jelly roll pan
- In a medium bowl, add the flour, baking soda, and salt. Stir.2 1/4 cups flour, 1 teaspoon baking soda, 1 teaspoon salt
- In a large bowl (I used my stand mixer), add the butter, sugar, brown sugar, and vanilla. Beat until creamy.2 sticks butter, 3/4 cup sugar, 3/4 cup packed brown sugar, 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- Add in the eggs, one at a time, beating well after each one.2 eggs
- Gradually beat in the flour mixture - I do it in thirds.
- Stir in the crushed pretzels.1 cup crushed dark chocolate covered pretzel thins
- Spread the dough evenly into the jelly roll pan.
- Bake for 20-25 minutes or until golden brown.
- While the bars were baking, I took the remaining dough and scooped out 6 cookies onto a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Once the bars were done, I baked the cookies for about 9 minutes until the edges were golden brown.
Notes
- Makes about 15 bars + 6 cookies (depending on how generous you cut them)
- I prefer using salted butter in baking, but for these bars, I use a combination of 1 stick salted and 1 stick unsalted to balance the saltiness from the pretzels.
