These cookies didn't spread out too much, which is so important. The other pretzel-cookie recipe I tried called for store bought dough, which was worthless. (After all that rolling and twisting, they came out looking like circles.) The only downside is that these cookies weren't very sweet, they tasted almost like biscuts. However, after I frosted them (Sugar Cookie Frosting from wyojess) they tasted better and much better the next day.
