BARB'S CROWD-PLEASING COOKIES



Barb's Crowd-Pleasing Cookies image

Delicious chunky cookies that are easy to make and disappear in a snap! My long-time friend Barb brought them to our New Year's Eve party and they were the hands-down favorite of a huge buffet table. Cook's note: 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.

I needed something to bring to my niece's 4th of July party. I wanted something portable, simple to make, and of course really tasty! I love Mexican food so this recipe in inspired from south of the border, yet created in New England. You can adjust the heat on the recipe by using a hotter or milder taco seasoning.

  • Measure your ingredients accurately: Baking is a science, so it's important to measure your ingredients correctly. Use a kitchen scale for the most accurate results.
  • Use fresh, high-quality ingredients: The better the ingredients, the better your cookies will be. Look for organic, locally-sourced ingredients whenever possible.
  • Don't overmix your dough: Overmixing the dough will make your cookies tough. Mix just until the ingredients are combined.
  • Chill your dough before baking: Chilling the dough will help the cookies hold their shape and prevent them from spreading too much.
  • Bake your cookies at the right temperature: The temperature of your oven will affect the texture of your cookies. Be sure to preheat your oven to the correct temperature before baking.
  • Don't overbake your cookies: Overbaking your cookies will make them dry and crumbly. Bake them just until they are set.
  • Let your cookies cool completely before storing them: Letting your cookies cool completely will help them keep their shape and prevent them from becoming too soft.
