These chocolate covered pretzel cookies are a variation of our popular and beloved chocolate chip cookies. Have you tried them yet? We have the recipe memorized, and know many of you do too! For today’s recipe, I swapped the chocolate chips for chocolatey pretzel pieces. They’re perfect for those of you who crave a salty-sweet combination in your dessert. We like to top them off with a sprinkle of sea salt to help bring out the pretzel’s salty flavor. So good!
Tell Me About these Chocolate Covered Pretzel Cookies
Texture: These chocolate covered pretzel cookies are soft-baked and buttery with chewy centers and slightly crisp edges. The crunchy pretzel pieces lose a little crunch during the baking process, but you’ll still enjoy all their salty chocolate flavor. Ease: We’re using melted butter in this cookie recipe, so there’s no mixer required. The rest of the ingredients are straightforward and simple including the chocolate covered pretzels. Feel free to use store-bought (we like the Flipz brand) or make your own. Time: Prepping the dough is fairly quick, but make sure you set aside enough time to chill the cookie dough. This is an imperative step and prevents the cookies from over-spreading into greasy puddles.

Chocolate Covered Pretzels
You can use homemade chocolate covered pretzels or store-bought chocolate covered pretzels in these cookies. We suggest the brand Flipz, but really any store-bought would work. Break up the pretzels into smaller pieces, about the size of (or a little larger than) chocolate chips or chunks. You need about 1 cup of chocolate covered pretzel pieces.
