Ingredients

• 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
• 0.5 cup granulated sugar
• 0.5 cup light brown sugar, packed
• 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
• 1 item large egg
• 2 cups all-purpose flour
• 0.5 teaspoon baking soda
• 0.25 teaspoon salt
• 1 cup crushed pretzel pieces
• 1 cup powdered sugar
• 2 tablespoons milk
• 0.5 teaspoon vanilla extract (for glaze)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper.

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.

Step 3

Beat in the vanilla extract and egg until fully combined.

Step 4

In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking soda, and salt.

Step 5

Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until a dough forms.

Step 6

Fold in the crushed pretzel pieces, ensuring they are evenly distributed throughout the dough.

Step 7

Using a tablespoon or small cookie scoop, drop rounded spoonfuls of dough onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart.

Step 8

Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are golden. The centers may look slightly soft but will firm up as they cool.

Step 9

Remove the cookies from the oven and let them rest on the baking sheets for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Step 10

While the cookies are cooling, make the glaze by whisking together powdered sugar, milk, and vanilla extract in a small bowl until smooth.

Step 11

Once the cookies have cooled completely, drizzle the glaze over the top of each cookie using a spoon or piping bag.

Step 12

Allow the glaze to set for 10-15 minutes before serving. Enjoy!
