Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Start by creaming ½ cup of softened butter and ¾ cup of brown sugar in a mixing bowl until light and fluffy, about 3 minutes. Gradually add 1 cup of all-purpose flour and 1 cup of crushed pretzels, mixing until combined. The dough should be thick and slightly sticky. Cover and refrigerate for 15 minutes to firm up, making it easier to scoop and shape.
  2. Using a spoon or cookie scoop, portion out the chilled dough onto a parchment-lined baking sheet, flattening each ball slightly with your hands. Leave space between each cookie, as they may spread slightly. Place the baking sheet in the freezer for about 30 minutes so the cookies maintain their shape when assembled.
  3. After the cookies are slightly hardened, remove them from the freezer. Scoop a generous portion of salted caramel ice cream on the flat side of one cookie, then top it with another cookie, pressing gently to form a sandwich. Repeat until all cookies are filled.
  4. To ensure the ice cream stays firm, wrap each sandwich individually in plastic wrap and chill them in the freezer for at least 30 minutes.
  5. Once the Salted Caramel Pretzel Ice Cream Sandwiches are thoroughly chilled, unwrap and serve them immediately.
