Instructions
Preheat oven to 475°
Prepare baking sheets with parchment paper to prevent sticking
In the smaller mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, corn starch, salt, and baking soda
Cut the stick of butter into smaller pieces
In the larger mixing bowl, combine the butter, sugar, brown sugar, egg, and vanilla extract
Gently stir the dry ingredients (flour, corn starch, salt, etc.) into the larger bowl with the butter/egg/sugar mixture
Add in chocolate chips, pretzel pieces, and optional walnuts. Mix gently until fully combined
Using a full size spoon (tablespoon), make cookie dough balls and place them on the baking sheet
Bake for 6-7 minutes or until the tops of the cookies get golden/brown (keep you eye on them:)
Remove from the oven and let them cool. They’ll continue to cook on the inside while they cool
Notes
TIP: To make EXTRA LARGE cookies, double the size of the cookie dough balls using 2 tablespoon scoops and increase the baking time to 9-10 minutes. Makes 9 cookies if made larger.
