wanted to say that I think that it would be good if the pretzels were inside the cookie and not as a crust. Hope this helps

I have made these twice. Everyone loves them. The cooking time is much longer than the 20-24 minutes. Half of the pretzel crust stays in the pan… There isn’t enough moisture to hold it together. I didn’t use parchments- maybe that is the issue? Any ideas?

These are very good; however, they need to be baked WAY longer than 20-24 minutes. More like 45 minutes. I have an electric oven. Maybe 20-25 in a gas oven?

Made these recently and they turned out fantastic, but like many others, the pretzel crust did not stick very well at all. Over half the pretzels are still sitting in the bottom of my pan and when people went to grab them, pretzel bits fell everywhere. Maybe adding a little sugar to the crust would help? I’ve made a pretzel jello salad that has a pretzel crust, which consists of pretzels, melted butter, and sugar, and do not remember having as much trouble with the crust falling apart. Regardless, still definitely worth making.

I’m still thinking about these cookies since I saw your post. Must give them a try!

These were yummy! Next time I might cut a little bit of the dry ingredients so that the crust might stick better.

I made them last night….yummy, but crust also did not stick much. Perhaps a firmer something under the pretzels…like a chocolate and toffee layer?

I made these today for Thanksgiving and well they tasted good before I cooked them I put them in the oven at 24 mins they still needed more time they where gooey and the top was already golden brown so I popped them back in the oven by the time the middle was done the top was really dark and then I let them sit for about 35 -45 mins I started to cut them and the bottom does not stick to the cookies so dissapointed

I think they would be even better with a layer of melted chocolate on top! =-)

Huge hit! We made them with Splenda products (the half-half kind) so even I got to try one.
