Move over regular ol' chooclate chip, there's a new cookie in town! These toffee pretzel cookies are packed full of flavor and are sure to be a new hit.
Preheat oven to 350 F. Line two baking sheets with parchment paper and set aside.
Place the butter in a small, light-colored saucepan. Cook over medium heat until the butter is browned and smells nutty. Pour into a bowl and allow to cool for 10-15 minutes.
While the butter is cooling, add flour, baking soda, and salt together in a bowl. Whisk to combine and set aside.
In another bowl, combine brown sugar and granulated sugar and stir to combine. Stir in browned butter until combine well. Stir in eggs, one at a time, whisking to make sure the mixture is creamy and smooth. Add in vanilla paste or vanilla extract, and stir. Once it is well combined, pour mixture into the dry ingredients. Stir until no dry flour remains. Add pretzel sticks, chocolate chips, and toffee bits. Stir until all the mix-ins are well distributed.
Scoop the mixture (in about 2-3 tablespoon size balls) form into a ball and place on the cookie sheet. Give the cookies a gentle tap on top to flatten them a bit. Bake each sheet for 12-13 minutes or until lightly browned. One removed from the oven, sprinkle lightly with flake salt (if desired). Let cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes then remove to a wire rack to cool completely. Enjoy!
