Ingredients

1 cup all purpose flour

1 cup dark brown sugar

1 egg

1 pinch salt

8 tablespoons softened butter

1/2 tsp vanilla

1 tsp almond extract

1/2 bag of semi-sweet dark chocolate chips (you could also use butterscotch, caramel, peanut butter, white chocolate or mint chocolate chips, depending on your preference. Semi-sweet tastes the best in my opinion).

1/3 cup chopped nuts (I prefer almonds, but walnuts, hazelnuts or even pecans would be fine)

1/4 cup salted pretzels, chopped into small pieces

Preparation

1. In a mixing bowl, combine softened butter with brown sugar and salt, cream together.

2. Add egg, vanilla, and almond extract to mixture, stir until blended.

3. Slowly add cup of flour, stirring until batter forms. It will be slightly runny, like brownie batter.

4. Add chocolate chips, nuts, and pretzels, stirring until blended.

5. Pour mixture into a greased baking sheet, bake for 20 minutes at 350 degrees or until chewy. Allow to cool, and cut into squares.
