Why is it worth baking such brownie cookies with pretzels?
My today’s chocolate cookies with pretzels I made for my daughter’s friends and I must admit, I really liked them. They turned out mega chocolatey, as intense as brownies. Delicately soft inside with a slightly crispy crust on the outside. Additionally, the lightly salted pretzels added a nice flavor and tasty pieces inside. The recipe itself is super simple to prepare, so anyone can handle it. You can make the brownie cookie dough in advance and keep it in the fridge – it needs to chill thoroughly before baking anyway. Then you just take it out of the fridge, scoop portions of dough with a spoon, and bake the cookies! You must try them!
Ingredients for chocolate cookies with pretzels
To make such cookies with chocolate and pretzels at home, you will need a few basic ingredients. Below is a condensed list of products I used and possible substitutes.
- chocolate – dark chocolate will be best, but you can also use semi-sweet – pay attention to the package weight, because large manufacturers often now make packages of 90, or even 80 g
- butter – I recommend extra butter 82%, ultimately you can use mixed butter, or vegetable butter
- sugar – I used regular sugar, but you can also use cane sugar, and if you want to slightly reduce the calorie content of the cookies, you can use erythritol
What can replace pretzels?
Don’t have pretzels, but craving these cookies? Instead, you can add salted pretzel sticks broken into smaller pieces to the dough :) You can also skip this addition if you have nothing and just add about 0.5 teaspoon of salt to the dough to give them “character”.
How many kcal does one brownie cookie have?
In the table below the recipe, I provided the calorie content for 100 g of finished cookies, because you might get a different amount than I did. For me, with 14 cookies, one of them had about 225 kcal (carbohydrates – 24.4 g, proteins – 3.5 g, fats – 12.5 g).
Frequently Asked Questions – FAQ
How long to bake brownie cookies with pretzels?
I made large cookies and baked them for 15 minutes. If you scoop smaller portions and have smaller cookies, bake them a little shorter – about 11 minutes, it’s important that they are lightly browned. But don’t bake them too long, because then the center won’t remain as nicely soft as it should.
How to store chocolate cookies with pretzels?
Once completely cooled, transfer the baked cookies to a lidded container to keep them fresh longer. It’s best to eat them within a few days – that’s when they’ll be most delicious.
Can more chocolate be added to brownie cookies?
Yes, if you wish, you can add chopped chocolate in smaller pieces or chocolate chips as an extra to the cookies.
Can brownie cookies with pretzels be frozen?
Yes, completely cooled cookies can be frozen for about 3 months.
