Things to note
Before we dive into the baking fun, there’s an essential tip I want to share with you. To achieve the perfect cookie, it’s crucial to chill the dough before baking. This step ensures that the cookies hold their glorious shape, and the flavors meld together beautifully. Skipping the chilling step can lead to cookies that spread too much in the oven, and we definitely want to avoid that. So, after mixing up the dough, pop it in the fridge for at least 30 minutes (or, if you can wait, overnight).
Now, let’s get back to the deliciousness – we’ve got cookies to bake!

Salted Caramel Pretzel Chocolate Chip Cookies
Ingredients
- 1/2 cup dairy-free butter
- 1/2 cup light brown sugar sugar packed
- 1/4 cup plant-based milk
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 tsp baking soda
- 1/4 tsp salt
- 1/2 cup crushed pretzels + 6 for topping
- 1/2 cup dairy-free chocolate chips
- 12 dairy-free caramels
Instructions
- In the bowl of your electric mixture, cream the butter and sugar together until smooth. Add in the plant-based milk and vanilla extract and whisk once more.
- Next, add in the flour, baking soda and salt. Stir to combine. Add in the crushed pretzels and chocolate chips and lightly stir in the ingredients until the dough is just combined.
- Prep a baking sheet by lining it with parchment paper and set it next to your bowl. Divide the batter evenly into 6 parts, using your hands, roll the dough into balls and place them on the baking sheet. Chill the dough for at least 30 minutes in your refrigerator.
- While the dough is chilling, preheat your oven to 350 degrees F.
- Once preheated, pull the cookie dough out of the fridge and “stuff” each cookie with two caramels each. I did so by forming an indent with my thumb then reformed the cookie to hold together.
- Bake the cookies for 16-18 minutes. Let them cool for 10 minutes before enjoying!
