These cookies were a bit too sweet for my taste. I think I would have preferred them with less sugar.

I'm not a huge fan of pretzels, but these cookies were surprisingly good. The pretzels add a nice salty flavor that complements the sweetness of the cookie dough.

The only thing I would change about this recipe is to add more pretzels. I think it would give the cookies a more pronounced salty-sweet flavor.
