Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Line two baking sheets with parchment paper.

Notes
Use softened, not melted, butter for chewy texture.
Fold in pretzels and chips last to avoid crushing.
Slightly underbake for soft, chewy centers.
Chill dough for 20 minutes if cookies spread too much during baking.
Store airtight for up to 5 days or freeze up to 2 months.
