These Pretzel Toffee Pecan Cookies are soft, chewy, and packed with buttery toffee bits, crunchy pretzels, and toasted pecans. The perfect sweet-and-salty cookie recipe for holidays, cookie exchanges, or anytime you crave a bakery-style treat.
Preheat the oven to 350℉/176℃ and line 2 baking trays with parchment paper and set aside. Melt the butter and allow it to cool as you prep the rest of the ingredients.
3/4 cups + 2 tbsp unsalted butter
In a bowl, combine flour, baking soda, baking powder, cornstarch, cinnamon, and salt. Set aside.
In a large bowl, add the melted butter, brown sugar, and white sugar. Whisk together well.
2/3 cups white sugar, 1/3 cup brown sugar, 3/4 cups + 2 tbsp unsalted butter
Add in the egg, egg yolk, and vanilla, and whisk together.
1 tbsp vanilla, 1 large egg, 1 large egg yolk
Combine the dry and wet ingredients gently just until a soft cooke dough forms. Do not over-mix!
Add in the chopped pecans, pretzels, and toffee bits, and stir to combine.
1/2 cup pecans, 1/2 cup toffee bits, 1/2 cup pretzels
Scoop 6 cookies per tray, spacing them evenly apart from each other.
I used a 2 tbsp cookie scooper.
Bake for 12-16 minutes, or until the edges are a light golden brown and the middles are still slightly puffy and under-baked. They will continue to bake as they cool.
Allow to cool, and enjoy! These cookies are so delicious!
