Instructions

- Immediately pour into a large heatproof bowl and use a spatula to scrape all the little brown bits into the bowl
- Using a stand or hand mixer, beat the vanilla and sugars into the butter for a couple minutes, until it lightens a bit
- Beat in eggs for about 30 seconds

- Stir in the pretzels, caramel bits, and chocolate chips until evenly distributed

- Add more broken pretzel pieces, caramel bits, and chocolate chips to the tops of the dough balls to preference
- Sprinkle with sea salt
- Bake 13 minutes until golden around the edges
- Remove and allow to cool on the sheet for 5 minutes
- Then, transfer cookies to a wire rack to cool completely
- Serve and enjoy!
Notes
You can sprinkle more broken pretzel pieces, caramel bits, and chocolate chips to the tops of the dough balls to your preference. I went heavy on the caramel bits because they are our favorite.
