Add salt and baking soda to flour to a large bowl and mix.
1 teaspoon of baking soda, 1 teaspoon of salt, 3 cups of flour
In another mixing bowl, add brown sugar, sugar and softened butter and mix until creamy. Add the eggs and vanilla and mix until creamy and without clumps.

1/2 cup mini pretzels

Using a small cookie scoop, scoop out cookie dough. Roll into ball and place on an oil sprayed baking sheet.

Once done, slightly press the cookies down with a flat spatula and let cookies rest for 5 minutes.
Remove the cookies onto a baking rack for further cooling.

Notes

If using salted butter, cut down the amount of salt you add to the batter and only add about 1/4 teaspoon.
You can use milk or dark chocolate chips if you'd prefer.
Let the cookies set before you try to remove them from the cookie sheet or they will fall apart.
For easy clean up, line your cookie sheet with foil.
