A perfect sweet and salty combo of butterscotch, pretzels and chocolate chips create the perfect flavor for these irresistibly soft homemade chocolate chip cookies with a twist!
Preheat oven to 350 degrees.In a medium sized bowl, whisk together flour, cornstarch, salt, baking powder and baking soda and put aside.
In the bowl of your mixer, add butter and both granulated and brown sugars and mix together for 3-4 minutes on high until light and fluffy.
Next add in eggs, one at a time, beating until incorporated. Then add in pure vanilla extract and beat until smooth.
Turn down your mixer to low and add in flour mixture in three intervals beating after each addition until well-combined. Lastly, add in chocolate chips, butterscotch chips and chopped pretzels.
Place dough in the refrigerator for about 2 hours.
When ready to bake, scoop cookie dough in balls the size of a tablespoon and place on parchment paper lined cookie sheet at least 1 1/2 inches apart. Carefully press a mini pretzel into the center of each cookie and sprinkle with a pinch of sea salt.
Bake 11-13 minutes then allow cookies to cool for at least 4-5 minutes then serve.
Notes
The resting period is absolutely crucial for these cookies. If you don't allow the cookies to rest in the refrigerator, you will have super thin spread cookies and you will not have the desired outcome you want.
