Sea Salt Butterscotch Pretzel Cookies

A few weeks ago I had the MOST surprising cake. I visited the localized farmers mart in our townspeople and there were whatsoever outstanding vendors there. Of way I hit up all the hardened artefact stands and got THIS cookie. It was a chewy umber blemish cook ladened with butterscotch and pretzels. I dead knew I had to make a variation of this cook at home and I am evenhandedly reliable I knocked it out of the park.

I individual never been a immense butterscotch fan but I scholarly a few period ago that True butterscotch is fundamentally sugar prefabricated with university sweeten instead of granulated, which totally blew my head. The aggravated butterscotch flavor that is in candies and the chips isn't the realistic sight. BUT I do cognise that Wads of you guys are huge butterscotch fans.
