Pretzel Butterscotch Cookies

This has to be my all time favorite sweet and salty creation. We all know how delicious those pretzel m&m's are, so why not try a cookie with the same effect. 

The recipe follows:

2 sticks butter
2 1/4 cups bread flour
1 tsp. salt
1 tsp. baking soda
1/4 cup sugar
1 1/4 cups brown sugar
1 egg
1 egg yolk
2 tbsp cream
1 tsp. vanilla
1/2 cup chocolate chips
1/2 cup butterscotch chips
1/2 cup broken pretzels
some course sea salt

Take the 2 sticks of butter and melt them in a larger sauce pan, while it will foam it will also turn a brownish color. Once you have this set aside and let cool. While letting the brown butter cool, sift the flour, baking soda, and salt and put aside as well. Mix the cooled butter (about 20 minutes of cooling) and the sugars, for about 2-3 minutes. After that, start mixing in all other ingredients, but make sure that the flour is mixed in last. I like to eye the flour sometimes because they don't always call for the exact amount that it says. Once everything is all mixed and in the form of amazing looking cookie dough, cover the bowl and leave it in the fridge for about 8 hours. After those 8 hours, line up on a cookie sheet and cook for about 10 minutes (12 minutes if you like a little crispier of a cookie.

After that enjoy!(: They are addicting by the way, so prepare yourself(:
