In a stand mixer with the paddle attached, cream the cold butter, both sugars and corn syrup on medium high for 2-3...
- 4 oz cold unsalted butter, chopped up
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 1/4 cup plus 2 tablespoons light brown sugar, packed
- 1/2 tablespoon corn syrup
- 1 tsp vanilla
- 1 large egg
- 4.5 weight oz flour (If you don’t have a scale, fluff up the flour and scoop up 1 heaping cup. Sweep top flat)
- 1 tsp baking powder
- 1/2 tsp baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon Morton brand Kosher salt or regular salt or use 1 teaspoon coarse Diamond brand
- 3/4 cups semi-sweet or good chocolate chips – wouldn’t recommend regular chopped chocolate because it might cause more spreading. Best to stick with chocolate morsels/chips.
- 3/4 cup (more or less) broken peanut butter filled pretzels, Zapps potato chips, regular pretzels and pecans. The 3/4 cup is approximate – use what seems good to you, but the peanut butter filled pretzels were awesome!
