Pretzel Chocolate Chip Cookies

July 26, 2016 by Emily Hill 30 Comments

Pretzel chocolate chip cookies are soft, chewy, and chocolaty with the right amount of crunch! The combination of crunchy, salty, sweet is simply irresistible!

A few weeks ago I shared purple polka-dotted cream cheese sugar cookies inspired by one of our favorite picture books, I Like Myself. We had so much fun turning that beloved story into a baking session, we did it again with one of George’s favorite pictures books, CookieBot!

We have both Harry & Horsie books and I love them as much as—if not more than—the kids.

I find this true with a lot of the books in their collection.

We took CookieBot’s love of the classic baked treat and turned it into a new baked treat with these pretzel chocolate chip cookies. They are SO good!

The dough bakes up slightly crisp on the edges with a chewy center while the combination of semisweet chocolate and salty pretzel makes each bite divine.

Let’s be honest, I pretty much think every cookie is divine.

Not surprising, whipping up a recipe inspired by a classic read is one of the best ways to making reading engaging and interactive. This is good news for those who are looking to encourage their kids to dive into more books when school’s out for the summer. I found quite a few books on the shelf that would make for some yummy time in the kitchen together.

Just imagine what you could make: apple pie, ice cream, pancakes, gingerbread babies, blueberry muffins, homemade bread and jam… It’s a smorgasbord of book-inspired deliciousness. In fact, I bet you have enough books on your bookshelves to make a recipe a week until school’s back in session! But first you should make these pretzel chocolate chip cookies.

    I keep them engaged by taking weekly trips to the library where they get excited about picking out new books.

    I offer incentives for reading. I limit screen time too. They have to read a book to earn screen time.

    My daughter loves to read. One thing she especially likes is to float in the pool with a good book. Getting her enough books she likes is more the problem. She has eclectic tastes.

    My kids have to read an hour a day at least — that’s non-negotiable. I take them to the library and have them pick out their own books so that they are invested.

    We join the Summer Reading Club at the library. It helps because they collect coins to get prizes at the end.

    I read aloud to the kids daily. Sometimes I’ll stay a book with them and be “too busy” to keep reading. If they are really excited about it, my 9 yr old will pick it up and keep reading aloud to them.

    I keep them energized by going to the library and letting them pick out books. We then spend an hour each evening just reading together in our living room.

    I spend time each night reading to them as a family. They each get to alternate coding the book. If it’s a chapter book we read a few chapters and continue over a few until the books done. They love it!

    I don’t have any kids of my own, but I like to give my nephew options on what to read when he is here. I love that we can rent free ebooks from the library website to the tablet.
