Dark Chocolate Pretzel Cookies

These cookies might sound a bit crazy, but trust me, your cookies need pretzels in them.  Dark chocolate pretzel cookies are the perfect blend of sweet and savory with so much delicious chocolate flavor.  I love making these cookies as a simple dessert or during the holidays to add to a cookie tray.  The recipe makes about 24 cookies but you can always double it if you want more.

If you want to make these cookies taste even more amazing, sprinkle them with a little flakey sea salt right after they come out of the oven or a drizzle of melted dark chocolate after they completely cool. Totally optional but delicious!
