A classic chocolate chip cookie made even better with salty pretzel pieces and melted caramel bits!
Chocolate chip cookies will never get old. But it is fun to change them up from time to time. I love chocolate covered caramel pretzels so I knew I was going to love these! My parents good friend and neighbor brought these over a few weeks ago. My dad couldn’t wait for me to try them! Of course I had to go home and find and excuse to make a batch for us. My husband had an all day mountain bike race ( yes, ALL day!) coming up so I decide to make these for him to take and eat during his breaks. He said he ate so much food because he was riding so much he had to eat a bunch of calories to keep up his energy. I was so glad I could help him with that. I am always good for helping people add calories to their diets! hehe!

I see cornstarch listed in the ingredients but not in the instructions.
Sorry! I added it in. You just add it to the flour mixture then combine with the wet ingredients. 🙂
