Ingredients
- 1 stick unsalted butter (softened)
- ¾ cups light brown sugar (tightly packed)
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- ⅛ teaspoon salt
- ¾ cups all-purpose flour (+ 2 tablespoons, heat treated)
- 2 ½ tablespoons heavy whipping cream
- ½ cup chocolate chips
- 50 small pretzels (approximate amount)
- 1 ½ cups dark chocolate melting wafers
- 2 tablespoons nonpareils (for sprinkling (optional))
Steps
-
In a stand mixer (or using a hand-mixer), cream together your butter and brown sugar until light and fluffy.
-
Stir in vanilla extract.
-
Sprinkle in salt and stir well.
-
With mixer on medium-low speed, gradually add in your all-purpose flour until all ingredients are completely combined. Be sure to stop your mixer periodically to scrape down the sides and bottom of the mixing bowl with a spatula.
-
Gradually add heavy cream to mixture until completely combined (again, pausing to scrape sides and bottom of bowl).
-
Stir in mini chocolate chips
-
Scoop out a heaping tablespoon of dough and roll it in your hands to form a ball*. Slightly flatten with your palm, and place it on top of one pretzel. Sandwich with another pretzel, and set aside on a wax-paper-lined cookie sheet.
-
Repeat until all of the cookie dough has been sandwiched.
-
Melt your chocolate according to the instructions on the package.
-
Once chocolate has melted, take your pretzel-sandwiches one at a time and dip them halfway into the chocolate. Return to wax paper and immediately sprinkle with nonpareils or sprinkles, if using.
-
Repeat until all sandwiches have been dipped and sprinkled.
-
Allow chocolate to set before eating.
