Preparation

Step 1

1 Heat oven to 350°. Line cookie sheets with cooking parchment paper or spray with cooking spray.

2 Spoon and shape 14 heaping tablespoons dough into balls. Roll balls in pretzels; place 3 inches apart on ungreased cookie sheets.

3 Bake 18 to 20 minutes or until golden brown. Cool completely before removing to cooling racks.

4 In small bowl, microwave milk chocolate uncovered on High, stirring every 30 seconds, until melted and smooth. Drizzle melted chocolate over cookies; let stand until set. Store in airtight container.

Expert Tips:

For best results, use multiple cookie sheets and do not overcrowd oven during baking.

Cookies are done when they deflate in oven. If they are still puffed up, let them bake a little longer.

For easier cleanup, place cooling racks on top of waxed paper-lined work surface or cookie sheet before drizzling melted chocolate over baked cookies.

If you prefer, dark chocolate is delicious substitute for milk chocolate.
