What an interesting cookie! I loved the crunch from the pretzels. Very similar to nuts in texture. Will use this idea for those that have nut allergies! Dipped each end in dark chocolate, sweet, a bit salty, and ohhh so yummy! Thank you for sharing!

I will admit, I saw these listed on the Sweet Traditions Tag Game thread, and they sounded so interesting...well, they are so much more than that. I LOVE THESE COOKIES. Like AZPARZYCH said, they remind me of shortbread cookies, and also very similar to pecan sandies (W/O the pecans of course), and they are great plain, warm, right out of the oven :) Even better with the chocolates added. I made these for our Christmas buffet table, but I may need to make another batch as I think these are going to disappear before Christmas ~ I got 33 cookies and baked for 14 minutes. Thanks for posting such a great recipe Ceezie ~ these are AWESOME.

These are good and easy to make. They have a shortbread-like testure and the chips/pretzels gives them a salty crunch. Very unique and can be made for holidays by adding sprinkles. Will probably be adding to my Christmas cookie platters. Made for Sweet Traditions Tag Game Nov 2009.

I saw this recipe and had to give it a try. It comes out tasting very much like a biscotti cookie. The cookie is very light. When eating it, you can't tell that there are either chips or pretzels in it. The two combine to give a delicious taste. It's almost like a heath bar taste. One of the best cookies I've made and one of the most unique. This recipe is a keeper.
