Chocolate Pretzel Cookies
1 cup butter, softened
2 cups sugar
3 tbs. molasses
2 tsp. vanilla
1 tsp. baking soda
2 eggs, beaten
2 cups crushed, salted thin pretzel sticks (measure after crushing)
2 1/2 cups flour
1 1/2 cups chocolate chips
Mix the butter with the sugar and molasses; beat until light and fluffy.
Add the vanilla and baking soda; mix in well, then add eggs until thoroughly incorporated.
Put the pretzels in a zip-lock bag, seal carefully, and crush with rolling pin.
Measure out two cups of crushed pretzels and mix into the dough.
Add the flour in increments; mix well. Stir in the chocolate chips by hand.
Drop by rounded teaspoons onto greased cookie sheets.
Bake at 350 for 10-12 minutes, or until nicely browned.
Let the cookies cook on the sheet for 2 minutes, then remove to a wire back to finish cooling.
Makes about 5 dozen chewy, fairly soft cookies that travel well.
