Warm Chocolate Chip Cookie-Stuffed Soft Pretzels

Introduction

These pretzels combine the best of both worlds: soft, chewy pretzel dough filled with gooey chocolate chip cookie dough. The warm pretzels are perfect for a cozy treat, especially when served with a cold glass of milk.

Ingredients

• Pretzel Dough:
  • 1 ½ cups warm water
  • 2 tablespoons light brown sugar
  • 1 packet active dry yeast
  • ½ cup unsalted butter, melted
  • 1 ½ teaspoons sea salt
  • 4 ½ cups flour
  • 1 egg, beaten (for egg wash)
  • Coarse sea salt, for sprinkling
• Cookie Dough:
  • 2 ½ cups flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup butter, softened
  • ½ cup sugar
  • 1 cup brown sugar, packed
  • 3 teaspoons vanilla extract
  • 2 eggs
  • 2 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips

Instructions

1. Prepare the Pretzel Dough: Mix water, sugar, yeast, and butter in a bowl. Let it sit for 5 minutes. Add salt and flour, mix until smooth, and knead. Let the dough rise for 1 hour.
2. Make the Cookie Dough: Combine flour, baking soda, and salt. Cream butter, sugar, and vanilla extract until creamy, add eggs, then gradually beat in the flour mixture. Stir in chocolate chips.
3. Shape the Pretzels: Divide the pretzel dough into 8 balls, roll each into a rectangle. Spread cookie dough along the length, roll up into a log, and form into a pretzel shape.
4. Bake: Dunk each pretzel in warm water mixed with baking soda, place on a lined baking sheet, brush with egg wash, sprinkle with sea salt, and bake at 425°F for 13-15 minutes until golden.

Conclusion

These warm, cookie-stuffed soft pretzels are a decadent treat that combines the sweetness of chocolate chip cookies with the saltiness of pretzels. Enjoy them fresh out of the oven for maximum gooey goodness.
