Ingredients
Scale

- 2 large eggs
- 3 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 tsp baking soda
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1 cup crushed pretzels (mini or regular)
- 1/2 cup salted caramel sauce (store-bought or homemade)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
- In a large bowl, cream together the butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until fluffy. Add eggs one at a time, mixing until fully incorporated.
- In another bowl, whisk together flour, baking soda, and salt. Gradually add to the wet mixture until just combined—avoid overmixing.
