Chocolate Chocolate Chip Pretzel Cookies
Sweet and salty come together in these double chocolate chip cookies featuring crushed pretzels.
I’ve been trying out a LOT of recipes, so naturally, I have a ton of different ingredients. And I see that sometimes I have a surplus of one ingredient. I realized I was stuck with a huge bag of pretzel twists. And because I personally wouldn’t choose to eat pretzel twists on their own, I needed to find something to do with these!
Pretzels and chocolate go together rather well, in my opinion. Why not try them out in a double chocolate cookie?
These cookies are just the right amount of sweet and salty. Along with the crushed pretzels, I included semi-sweet chocolate chips. The slight crunch of the pretzels combined with the rich chocolate flavor of soft chocolate cookie dough with chocolate chips is a winning recipe, in my opinion. Try these out for yourself!
