  • 1 1/2 c dark brown sugar
  • 1/2 c granulated sugar
  • 1 T vanilla

Instructions

  • Melt butter in small saucepan until it begins to clarify. The fat solids will fall to the bottom and begin to brown; scrape them from the bottom of the pan and remove from burner. Liquid should be caramel in color.
  • In standing mixer, beat browned butter and sugars together for about 3 minutes.
  • Mix in the vanilla along with the eggs.
  • In a separate bowl whisk together the flour, baking soda, baking powder and sea salt. Blend into butter/sugar mixture just until incorporated.
  • Stir in caramel bits, broken pretzels, chocolate chips and toasted pecans until equally distributed.
  • Preheat your oven to 350°F.
  • Using a cookie scoop, drop them 2" apart on a parchment paper lined baking sheet.
  • Once they are golden around the edges, about 12 minutes, remove pan from the oven to a cooling rack. Once set, remove cookies to cooling rack.
  • Makes 5 dozen.
