Instructions:

1. Brown Butter Brilliance:

   In a saucepan, brown 1 cup of unsalted butter on low-medium heat for 5-10 minutes. Continually stir to avoid burning. Once browned, transfer to a separate bowl and let it cool for 10 minutes.

2. Sweet Sugar Symphony:

   Beat the brown butter with 1 1/4 cups brown sugar and 1/3 cup granulated sugar until fully mixed (about 2 minutes).

3. Eggstraordinary Addition:

   Add 1 egg, 1 egg yolk, and 1 tablespoon vanilla extract to the mixture. Beat again until well incorporated.

4. Dry Mix Elegance:

   In a separate bowl, whisk together 2 cups all-purpose flour, 1 teaspoon baking soda, and 1/4 teaspoon salt. Mix this into the wet mixture to create a harmonious cookie dough.

5. Sweet and Salty Ensemble:

   Integrate 2/3 cup semisweet chocolate chips, 2/3 cup crushed pretzels, and 2/3 cup caramel pieces into the batter, creating a delightful balance of flavors and textures.

6. Chill for Perfection:

   Allow the batter to chill in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes. This step enhances the depth of flavors and ensures perfect cookie texture.

7. Bake to Sweet Bliss:

   Preheat the oven to 350°F and bake for 9-11 minutes. Allow the cookies to cool on the baking tray for at least 15 minutes before transferring to a wire rack.

Brown Butter Insight:

Brown butter is butter that has been melted and cooked until it develops a nutty aroma and rich, golden-brown color. This process intensifies the buttery flavor, adding depth to your cookies.

Chilling Wisdom:

Chilling the cookie dough allows the fats to solidify, resulting in thicker, chewier cookies. It also enhances the flavors as the ingredients meld, ensuring an indulgent taste experience.

Savor the symphony of sweet and salty bliss with our Salted Caramel Pretzel Chip Cookies. From the magic of brown butter to the importance of chilling the dough, each step contributes to a cookie masterpiece that will delight your taste buds.
