Step 1

Preheat oven to 375F. Whisk flour, salt, and baking soda in a bowl.

Step 2

Cook 1 stick butter in a saucepan over medium heat, scraping the bottom of pan with a spatula until butter browns. Cube remaining 1/2 stick of butter, then add to brown butter to melt. Set aside to cool.

Step 4

Add egg, egg yolks and sugar and whisk until sugar dissolves and mixture is smooth.

Step 5

Fold dry ingredients into wet ingredients. Crush pretzels and cut chocolate unto cubes, then add to dough mixture.

Once removed from the oven, tap baking sheet down on countertop a few times to remove any air bubbles from cookies as they cool. Then top with flakey salt.
