Happy Wednesday! It’s a great feeling to be halfway through the week, although I do have Friday off so technically I’m almost done!! (Not to rub it in or anything) 
Just another disclaimer: My website has been driving me nuts! The pictures are coming out off centered, weird text is appearing out of nowhere, sometimes the comment section comes up, sometimes it doesn’t. Just being crazy. I have noticed that hitting refresh several times makes it “normal” again so please try this while I try to contact WordPress and figure out what the heck is going on!! Anyone else ever have this problem? If so, please help!
In other news…I baked again last night. I caved because I was reading one of my favorite baking blogs: Anecdotes and Apples. Monet comes up with some awesome recipes! She even wants to open her own bakery someday! I encourage you to check out her blog for some great inspiration!
Lots of texture! Monet's pictures look MUCH better than mine. I don't think I added enough chocolate chips to the recipe!!
I can’t express enough how much I love chocolate covered pretzels; nothing beats a sweet and salty combo! When I discovered a chocolate chip cookie recipe that included chocolate AND pretzels…I had to bake them!
I have to admit that I am not a very good baker. It seems I will follow a recipe completely and even if I make ZERO changes (as in…make them healthier), I still feel like it’s hit or miss! Sometimes they come out fantastic, other times I am disappointed. What gives? I followed this recipe exactly (butter and all) and they were a little flat and not as dense as I would have liked. They were still really tasty but they did not LOOK as good as Monet’s. Brandon LOVED them and scarfed 2 big cookies with a glass of milk. Maybe I’m too particular and critical of myself or maybe it has something to do with using margarine instead of stick butter? Or maybe I didn’t foam the eggs in the batter enough? Any thoughts Monet?
Regardless, I suggest you grab this recipe from Monet before she stops giving out her secrets!! It’s a unique twist on a classic cookie.
Brandon crushed my pretzels with a can of cat food. Nice thinkin' love.
Adding chocolate chunks...I may have sampled a few.
Fresh from the oven! They were a little flatter than I thought they would turn out but delish nonetheless!
Now we have TONS of yummy cookies to share!
Hope everyone has a wonderful Wednesday! Let’s hope it goes by quickly!!
Question: What is your favorite kind of cookie!?
Have a great day off!
hey!! thanks for your sweet blog comments!! i love your blog too. these pretzels sound crazy good. i’m also a huge fan of chocolate covered pretzels. nice job!
I love this idea! My favorite cookie is chocolate chip, but next time I’m totally going to put some pretzels in there too.
Hey Erin, I think your pictures look great, especially the bottom one. The cookie has such a pretty color and almost a shine to it. By the way, I didn’t have any problem leaving a comment. Well, i haven’t hit the submit button yet, but we’ll see (smile)…
Cookies are looking sinful girl!! I would have never thought to put pretzels in a cookie!! Love it love it love it (:
What a lovely idea combining pretzels and chocolate chips! I can see why you made it!
These look delicious! I love the sweet and salty combo too. My fiance LOVES chocolate covered pretzels so I’ll definitely have to make these. Thanks for sharing
That texture does look really good! I might replicate it with PB chips! (Allergic to chocolate!)
Asking “what is your favourite cookie” is like asking a mom “what is your favourite child”. For me at least.
…maybe that’s because I’m not a mom.
Today my favourite cookie is biscotti, since I baked them fresh on Monday night
I always hate when recipes don’t come out as I hope…which sadly, is often for me and my cooking “skills”.
Those cookies do look fabulous, but my favorite is just basic chocolate chip. Mmmm.
You are so sweet…I am touched! This made me smile. I hope you have a wonderful day and enjoy these cookies as much as Ryan and I did. Yum!
oh yum these cookies look amazing…..so sorry you have been having problems with your site-grrrrr though it looks fine from my point of view! i have friday off too
I will be trying these..I love chocolate covered pretzels
I do have to say, there is something to be said about using real butter vs. margarine. I didn’t understand it really (my mom always used margarine), but I think the texture comes out a bit better?
Nonetheless, those look delicious to me! I love the sweet and salty in my cookies/dessert as well!
Oh my goodness i have to make these! Chocolate covered preztels are my absolute FAVORITE thing!!!
I am a cookie monster too
. My favourite cookies are Nutter Butters. Just thinking of them makes me hungry.
