Main Ingredients Needed for Butterscotch Pretzel Chocolate Chip Cookies
- butter
- brown sugar
- sugar
- egg + egg yolk
- flour
- baking soda
- chocolate chips
- pretzels
- butterscotch chips
Recipe Tips & Notes
- This recipe specifies measuring out the flour packed. I know the generally accepted method of correctly measuring flour is to “spoon and sweep,” many of my own cookie recipes call for using that method. However, this recipe requires that you pack the flour against the side of the container as you measure it out. It WILL make a difference if you don’t do this.
- You can use any chocolate chips that you have on hand in this recipe, but I personally prefer a really dark chocolate to pair with butterscotch and with the saltiness of the pretzels. I used 60% cacao chocolate chips.
- Your personal preference totally determines how finely you crush the pretzels. Personally, I really like the pretzels to be finely crushed. But if you like big chunks of pretzels in your cookies, go for it!

These look amazing Ashton!
If they rock the block how could anyone resist!? I know I couldn’t!!
These sound fabulously delicious!
Yours is the second blog in about two hours Ive been to that’s baked choc covered pretzels into cookies. It’s a SIGN! 🙂 They look incredible and I love butterscotch, too! Pinned!
These cookies look so yummy. What is the measurement for the chocolate pretzels? The recipe calls for “1 chocolate covered pretzels”
It’s one cup 🙂
I could eat butterscotch all the time! Thank you for introducing me to the world of pudding cookies-the best!
I am so ready for all things fall…oh, and pudding cookies…I need more pudding cookies! I love butterscotch too, but I don’t eat it enough. Obviously I need more now!
I love the idea of adding pretzels to cookies, and butterscotch just takes this to a whole ‘nother level!
Butterscotch is one of those flavors I really could do all year long! These look great!
Butterscotch is one of my all time favorites and I don’t see it in enough recipes! Thanks for sharing, I can’t wait to make these this fall!
Those look super yummy! What is the quantity of pretzels? The recipe doesn’t specify.
Thanks!
It says one cup 🙂
Looks delicious Ashton! I love fall and all the seasonal flavors we get to enjoy. Pumpkin and peppermint are my favorite (but NOT together!)
I love this, Ashton! 🙂 Pudding cookies are the best, and I love the sweet & salty combo…. although I might swap out semi-sweet chocolate chips for the butterscotch. It might be butterscotch overload for me with the pudding mix and the chips. But yum!! Pinned!
Perfect combo – these look awesome!
Am I missing something–did not see an amount for the chocolate covered pretzels, and are they supposed to be broken up.
It says one cup, and you don’t need to break them up unless you want to 🙂 some will end up broken anyway!
I am so in love with these cookies Ashton!! And that list. I’m so excited for boots. And crust!
approx. how many cookies does a batch yield?
Approximately 4 doz (usually closer to 3 1/2 for me)
