Sweet & Salty Wednesday

Hi friends!  Just wanted to share a quick recipe with you. I made these yummy cookies last night for an event at work today. They were super yummy and quite the hit....so much so that there are none left. I shall be making more in the near future. These cookies are called White Chocolate Cranberry Pretzel Cookies.  Yep, you saw the word pretzel. The pretzels make the cookies so delicious. It adds that bit of salt you look for after you have had something sweet. 

These cookies will be especially nice for Thanksgiving but I think they will be quite good at Christmas too. The cookie base lends itself well to adding any other kinds of fun ingredients you like. Some examples are Andes mints, crushed Oreo's, crushed candy canes (the soft version), any kind of nut, chocolate covered raisins and the list goes on and on. As long as the ingredient will hold up in the oven it is fair game. Just remember to use the pretzels....they are a must and make this cookie divine. 

I have posted the link where I got the recipe below. I made two modifications to the recipe. Instead of 2 cups of white chocolate chips I only used 1 and instead of 1 cup of pretzels I only used 3/4 a cup. Otherwise, it is all the same. So special thanks to the Cinnamon Spice & Everything Nice blog for this recipe. Make them...you will thank me later :-) 

Have a great week! I must now go throw myself at the mound of dirty dishes in my sink and then try to finish the Christmas shopping online. Yes, there will be a Hallmark Christmas Movie involved during the shopping. I am nothing if not predictable where Hallmark is concerned. Love to you all from a very cold WF, NC!
