Servings: persons

1 3/4 cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
2 cups rolled oats
¼ tablespoons (1 3/4 sticks) unsalted butter, cut into 1-inch cubes (see note above)
3/4 cup granulated sugar
1 cup firmly packed dark brown sugar
1 large egg
1 large egg yolk
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 teaspoon instant espresso powder
2 cups semisweet chocolate chunks (about 12 oz)
3/4 cup thin salty pretzels (about 1 1/2 oz), broken into tiny pieces

1
Whisk the flour, baking soda, baking powder and salt together in a medium bowl. Whisk in the oats.
2
In the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, cream the butter and both sugars on medium speed until smooth and creamy. Beat in the egg and egg yolk - continue beating until the mixture looks light and fluffy. Mix in the vanilla extract then beat for 5 seconds. Add the espresso powder to 1/4 cup hot water, stirring to dissolve. Add to the mixer and beat until combined (your batter will curdle, don't worry it'll come together when you add the dry ingredients). Add half of the dry ingredients to the bowl and beat just until incorporated then beat in the remaining dry ingredients, again just until incorporated. Use a rubber spatula to fold in the chocolate and 1/2 cup of the pretzel pieces.
3
Cover the bowl and refrigerate the cookie dough for at least 4 hours.
4
Preheat oven to 350F. Line baking sheets with parchment paper.
5
Divide the dough into about 2 tablespoon balls and place them on the prepared baking sheet, spaced about 2 inches apart. Sprinkle some of the remaining pretzel pieces over the dough and use your palm to gently press them into the dough (but don't flatten the cookies too much).
6
Bake for 11-13 minutes, until the cookies are golden brown and the edges are set. Transfer the pan to a wire rack and let the cookies cool for 5 minutes before removing them to the wire rack to cool completely.
