Ingredients

• 2½ cups all-purpose flour (divided)
• 1 teaspoon baking soda
• ½ teaspoon baking powder
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1 cup butter (softened)
• 1 cup packed brown sugar
• ½ cup granulated sugar
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1 large egg
• 1 egg yolk
• 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
• 1 cup peanut butter chips
• 1 cup pretzels

Method

1. In a large bowl, whisk together 2 cups flour, baking soda, baking powder, and salt. Set aside. In a separate bowl, or bowl of a stand mixer, beat the butter and sugars until light and fluffy, about 1 minute.
   
   Then add in the egg, egg yolk, and extract and mix until combined. Add in flour mixture, and mix until combined. Add the chocolate chips, peanut butter chips, pretzels, and 1/2 cup of flour and mix until flour is just barely combined.
   
   Dump the dough out onto a sheet of plastic wrap, flatten into a disk, then wrap and chill for 1 hour. Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Once dough has chilled, form into 1 tbsp balls of our dough.
   
   Place balls on the baking sheet about 2 inches apart. Bake for 10 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown, but the center of the cookies are still soft. Let sit on the baking sheet for 5 minute, then remove and let cool on a cooling rack.
