    Let's face it: there's nothing quite like homemade cookies.

    When the aroma of cookies wafts through the air, you don't have to have a sweet tooth to feel the pull of delicious baked goods. We love making double chocolate coffee cookies, ube white chocolate chip cookies, and brown butter chocolate chip espresso cookies.

    And when you just can't decide if you want a salty treat or sweet treats, make these Triple Chocolate Chip Pretzel Cookies! They are a delicious combination of salty and sweet.

    • Triple Chocolate Chip Pretzel Cookie

    🌟 Why this recipe works

    chocolate chip pretzel cookies on a cooling rack.

    These chewy cookies are absolutely irresistible!

    • Easy - This is an easy cookie recipe that even beginning bakers will make with success!
    • Simple - This chocolate chip cookie recipe is made with simple ingredients you probably already have in your pantry, and are easy to find in any local grocery store.
    • Decadent - every bite has bits of dark chocolate chips, white chocolate chips, and butterscotch chips along with crunchy oats and crunchy pretzel pieces.

    🛒 Ingredient notes

    bowls of ingredients to make chocolate chip pretzel cookies.
    • Flour - Use all-purpose flour for the best results.
    • Butter - You'll need unsalted butter, softened at room temperature.
    • Eggs - Eggs should also be at room temperature before adding them to the batter.
    • Sugar - You will need both granulated sugar (white sugar) and packed light brown sugar (golden brown sugar).
    • Oats - Use quick cooking oats or old fashioned oats to add a delicious layer of added texture to these cookies.
    • Salt - Use kosher salt for the best tasting cookies.
    • Baking soda - A little baking soda is used as the leavening agent in this cookie recipe, to help the cookies rise just a bit.
    • Cinnamon - I love adding a bit of ground cinnamon for added depth of flavor.
    • Vanilla - Pure vanilla extract adds that rich, delicious bakery aroma and flavor.
    • Chocolate chips - You can use a combination of any 2 or 3 different kinds of chocolate chips. I use semi-sweet chocolate chips, butterscotch chips, and white chocolate chips for a more interesting flavor combination. You can also use dark chocolate chips, espresso chips, chocolate chunks, or milk chocolate chips.
    • Pretzels - You can break up mini pretzel twists or mini pretzel sticks.

    ✅ Step-by-step instructions

    A full list of ingredients along with detailed baking instructions are in the printable recipe card at the bottom of this post. But here's a visual step-by-step guide with photos to help you as you bake these chocolate chip pretzel cookies.

        I noticed that in your recipe when you first list the ingredients you list light brown sugar. Farther down on the actual recipe it lists dark brown sugar. I assume it is light brown . I really can’t wait to try these cookies they look delicious. Thank you for the recipe.
