Oversized bakery style cookies filled with milk chocolate, dark chocolate, caramel, toffee, and pretzels and topped with flaky sea salt.
These cookies are so big that you can only fit six on a cookie sheet. They are full of so many good things that every time I take a bite I go mmm… I just got a little caramel, mmm… chocolate, mmm… salt. It is all really satisfying. They’re great if you’re hopping in the car for a road trip or going on a picnic, especially since they seem like one of those giant cookies you get at a bakery while you’re on the road.
Notes:
- If you plan to save these for several days, note that the pretzels get stale after a day or two. Alternatively, freeze the cookies which prevents the pretzels from getting stale.
- For the chocolate chips, pretzels, etc., use any proportion that you prefer. If you prefer dark chocolate chips over milk chocolate, use more of those. If you love caramel, add more caramels, etc. Keep in mind that the caramels that touch the pan will bake and become stiff, while the caramels in the middle of each cookie will be soft and sticky.
