This recipe is from a friend from another Site; sadly, she is deceased now. If anyone here is familiar with the old THS board, they knew her and the wonderful recipes she passed on to us.

Note from Marlen: The pretzels should be about the size of the chocolate chips, not pulverized. You want to taste bits of pretzel as you munch. This is a crunchy cookie. I use a food processor and just pulse until the desired size is achieved.
