Notes
Pretzels: You want to make sure the pretzels are salted so it adds that saltiness flavour that pairs perfectly with the sweetness of the cookie. You can use any shape or size of pretzel. It doesn’t really matter since the pretzels will be chopped up. However, I do recommend the standard pretzels just to top the cookies with to have the cool pretzel shape on top of each cookie.
Chilled cookie dough: I always highly recommend chilling your dough for about 45 minutes before baking them as chilling the dough helps prevent the cookies from overspreading.
Rough cookie balls: I highly recommend not packing these cookies into round balls, just leave them rough around the edges, it gives them a better texture once baked.
