Salty Sweet Cookies
A couple weeks ago we were invited to a few dinner parties and I was asked to bring dessert. I was busy so I wanted to make something that I could just bake once and could take to both parties. Cookies were the solution, but what flavor? So I headed to my baking freezer to see what ingredients I had on hand. I realized I had small amounts of everything, and I had 1/2 a bag of pretzels that my friend Roberta had brought over. That is how my Salty Sweet Cookies were developed.
I have baked these a few times to work out any flaws in the recipe and I think they are perfect now. Give them a try and post photos, tag with the hashtag #shaunmyrick
