The other night we wanted to make some goodies for my friend as a thank-you and were jonesing to try a new recipe. When we stumbled upon these cookie dough pretzel bites, I’m pretty sure we were in the kitchen gathering ingredients within 15 seconds flat.
Madison made the entire batch by herself from start to finish. I couldn’t be prouder.

Like the caramel snickerdoodles I posted last week, these cookie dough pretzel bites are from Sally’s Baking Addiction. Subscribing to her blog was a no-brainer once I discovered all the other delicious recipes she whips up.

We did adapt the recipe just a little bit as I thought the dough-to-pretzel ration was a bit heavy on the dough side.
Don’t tell my mom who thinks cookies are done as soon as the dough is ready.
I think next time I may even sprinkle a little extra kosher salt immediately after dipping them in the chocolate. For me I wanted a titch more salty to balance out the sweetness of the chocolate and cookie dough.
As far as reviews, my friend thought they were absolutely divine. I’d have to agree after taste testing at least a half dozen.

Salty pretzels filled with edible cookie dough and dipped in chocolate. Recipe adapted from Sally’s Baking Addiction.
Ingredients
½ cup unsalted butter, softened
½ cup brown sugar
¼ cup sugar
2 T milk
1 tsp vanilla
1¼ cups flour
⅛ tsp salt
½ cup mini semi-sweet chocolate chips
40-50 pretzels
8 oz semi-sweet chocolate chocolate chips
1 tsp shortening, optional
Instructions
Line cookie sheet with parchment paper or silicone baking mat.
In a large bowl beat butter and sugars together on medium speed until light and fluffy. Add the milk and vanilla and mix until combined.
Add the flour and salt and mix on medium speed and thoroughly combined. Note: Dough will be thick and crumbly; keep mixing until it comes together. Fold in mini chocolate chips.
Roll 1 to 1½ tablespoons of dough into balls. Place dough between two pretzels and set on prepared baking sheet. Freeze for 20 minutes.
While pretzel bites chill, melt the chocolate chips and shortening in the microwave for about 1 minute, stirring every 20 seconds.
Dip the pretzel bites halfway into the melted chocolate and return to baking sheet. Refrigerate the dipped bites for at least 10 minutes to allow chocolate to set. Cover and store pretzel bites in the refrigerator for up to 5 days or the freezer for up to 2 weeks (if they last that long!).
