Hello everyone! Caramel Pretzel Cookies for you today! A brown butter cookie packed with chewy caramel, salted pretzels, dark and milk chocolate chunks! A perfect combination of everything salty and sweet!
I started off this cookie recipe by browning my butter to add another dimension. This step really makes a difference for that added depth of flavour. It gives a deep, nutty, caramelised taste to the butter. Its an optional step but I think it brings the cookies to a whole new level! In short, You are heating up the butter until the milk solids start to toast and brown. You can see the attached image below for reference.
