Caramel Pretzel Cookie Balls Recipes

CARAMEL PRETZEL COOKIE BALLS

Steps:

• Mix cream cheese and cookie crumbs until blended. Shape into 12 (1-inch) balls, using a level tablespoon for each. Place on a waxed paper-covered baking sheet. Freeze 15 minutes.
• Microwave chocolate in microwaveable bowl on HIGH for 30 seconds; stir. Microwave 30 seconds more; stir. Continue heating and stirring in 10-second increments until completely melted.
• Dip each ball in chocolate using a fork, letting any excess drip back into the bowl; return to baking sheet.
• Microwave caramels and 1 tsp. water in small bowl for 30 seconds or until caramels are completely melted when stirred. Drizzle over cookie balls; immediately top with crushed pretzels and sprinkles. Refrigerate 15 minutes or until firm.

CARAMEL PRETZEL COOKIES

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 325°F. Place the sugar in a large mixing bowl. Add the hot melted butter and stir until smooth. Add the eggs and vanilla and stir to combine. Whisk together the flour, baking soda, salt, and oats; stir the flour mixture into the wet ingredients.
• Gradually add the pretzels, corn flakes, and caramel bits, stirring to mix everything throughout the dough. Scoop the dough into generous 2-3 tablespoon size balls and place on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Leave a couple inches between each cookie.
• Bake for 12-14 minutes. Remove from the oven before the edges of the cookies have browned. The cookies should be puffy and cracked across the top. Cool for 1-2 minutes on the baking sheet and then remove to a wire rack. When the cookies have completely cooled, store in an airtight container. Enjoy!

SALTY SWEET CARAMEL PRETZEL COOKIES

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
• In a large mixing bowl, cream butter, brown sugar, and sugar for 4 minutes until light and fluffy. Scrape down sides of the bowl.
• Add egg, egg yolk, vanilla, and powdered milk (optional) and cream until combined.
• Add flour, baking soda, and salt and stir just until combined.
• Stir in chocolate chips, caramel bits, and pretzels.
• Use Silpat or parchment paper on a baking sheet so the caramel doesn't stick to the pan. Drop dough onto baking sheet.
• Bake for 11-14 minutes or until lightly golden brown on the edges.

CARAMEL STUFFED PRETZEL CHOCOLATE CHIP COOKIES

Steps:

• Use premade chocolate dip or make the simple chocolate dip in this Cake Truffle recipe. Dip half of each pretzel in the dip and place them on a parchment-lined tray. Immediately sprinkle the dipped pretzels with your choice of sprinkles before the dip dries. Allow the chocolate to cool and harden in the fridge.
• Unwrap all the Werther's soft caramels. Press 2 together then fold them in half so that each double caramel is more of a square shape instead of a rectangle.
• I recommend preparing your pretzels and caramels before beginning the cookie dough (so that the dough doesn't get too soft at room temperature).
• In a large bowl, whisk the dry ingredients until well blended. In a separate bowl, whisk the wet ingredients until blended.
• Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients, add the softened salted butter, and mix until the dough comes together with a wooden spoon or sturdy spatula. Use your hands as needed to combine the ingredients into a uniform dough, as the dough will be thick. Make sure the butter is fully incorporated.
• Reserve a few chocolate chips for the tops of the cookies. Add the remaining chocolate chips and chopped pretzels and mix them into the dough, using your hands as needed.
• Using a 1.5-ounce scoop, scoop the cookie dough and place the balls onto cookie sheets/ sheet pans lined with parchment paper. (If you don't have a cookie scoop, you can just divide the dough into 22 equal cookie dough balls).
• Stick your prepared double caramels into the bottom of each cookie, pressing the cookie dough around it. Make sure the caramel is fully encased in cookie dough so that it can't escape.
• Press the reserved chocolate chips into the tops of the cookie dough. If using plain (undipped) pretzels decorations, press them into the tops of the cookie dough. *Because M&Ms tend to crack as they bake, we will be pressing them into the warm baked cookies. If you are not concerned with cracked M&Ms, you can press them into the dough at this time).
• Bake the cookies on the middle or top rack (avoid bottom rack) in the 325 degree preheated oven for 10 minutes, or until the edges are set and the top is only slightly shiny. The cookies will look slightly underdone but will continue to bake on the cookie sheet as they cool. Avoid overbaking (if they are baked even a couple of minutes too long, they will be less chewy).
• Right after they come out of the oven, lightly press the M&Ms and a dipped pretzel decoration on top of each warm cookie, then allow the chocolate to cool so that it will stick to the cookie. Serve at room temperature for a chewy caramel center, or heat in the microwave for 10-15 seconds for a gooey, soft caramel center. Enjoy!
