There are days when you just need a nice, tall glass of really cold milk to go along with some fresh, homemade cookies. Today was my day. I’m usually fairly good about my sweet intake, but WOW, today was not that day!
Do you ever have those days that sneak in and take you by storm?
One way to cause that storm to fizzle is a hot batch of homemade cookies, Chocolate Chip Pretzel Cookies of course!
My answer to that gooey, chocolatey cookie need in my life, Chocolate Chip Pretzel Cookies!
Not only do they fill my cookie void, but my kids were singing praises about them too. Around here, cookies make for happy days.
The downside is, that these cookies do not last that long in our house. They are probably my children’s favorite cookie and the most requested baked goodies around here.
Here’s an idea ~
You know, cookies in general (especially these Chocolate Chip Pretzel Cookies)Â make a great gift from the kitchen. Wrap them up in a cute little tin or box with a simple bow and you’ll have a homemade treat to give at Christmas, birthdays or just because. So go bake a batch or two, keep one for yourself and give some away to your friends, family, co-workers and your children’s teachers.
Don’t forget those bake sales coming up, these would be great and so would my other favorite baked treat, an Apple Pound Cake!
These cookies are definitely worthy of a tall glass of cold milk!
Enjoy.
