* Possible substitutes listed below. NOTE: I have not personally tried any of these substitutes for this recipe, however I believe they could work.
- you may be able to substitute almond flour, 1 to 1 gluten-free baking flour, or oat flour, but you may have to tweak the amount a little bit.
- if you’d like to use cane sugar or coconut sugar (instead of the brown sugar), you should be able to substitute 1:1
How To Make:
These cookies are super simple to make! You just have to beat together the butter and sugars, then add the egg, caramel, and vanilla. Next, add the flour, baking soda and baking powder and mix until well combined. Finally, mix in the pretzel pieces and chocolate chips. Refrigerate the dough for 20-30 minutes. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Roll dough into 24 balls (about 1 tbsp in size). I baked them in two batches of 12 for 9-11 minutes. Let cool, top with caramel sauce drizzle (optional) and enjoy!
