Why You’ll Love These Chocolate Chip Cookies With Pretzels
One of my favorite combinations is sweet and salty. So that's why I added salty pretzels to these sweet homemade cookies. The pretzels do become a bit soft when baked in the cookie dough, however they add more flavor and texture. You can just add crushed pretzels on top of the cookies instead of in the dough if you don't want them to get as soft during the baking process.
What Are Everything But The Kitchen Sink Cookies?
Everything cookies are so fun to make because you get to come up with new flavor combinations and use up ingredients that are hanging out in the back of your pantry. A handful of raisins? The bottom of a bag of potato chips? Toss them right in!
