Chewy, gooey Toffee Pretzel Cookies recipe with crunchy and sweet toffee bits and salty pretzel pieces for a salty-sweet flavor all inside a classic chewy cookie.
Toffee Pretzel Cookies
Okay, well I just said that I was going to try to wait for Christmas until after Thanksgiving so that I didn’t get too distracted by it, but then I saw some Christmas squirrels (SQUIRREL!) and made Christmas cookies. Although this delicious pretzel chocolate dessert has toffee in it, so I think these Toffee Pretzel Cookies might classify as a Fall recipe too.
So let’s get right down to it. These Toffee Pretzel Cookies are chewy and gooey like a delicious chocolate chip cookie, except they have sweet toffee bits and salty pretzels for a delightful salty-sweet flavor twist. They are sooo good. I mean, the only thing better than toffe chocolate caramel covered pretzels are when you put it in a warm, gooey, chewy cookie! We’re bringing some more to our preschool Thanksgiving party next week because my kiddos loved them so much.
