WHITE CHOCOLATE PRETZEL COOKIES

Steps:

WHITE CHOCOLATE-COVERED PRETZELS

Steps:

• Gather the ingredients.
• Unfold a piece of newspaper and place it on a table or counter. Top the newspaper with parchment or wax paper.
• Place white chocolate in a microwavable container. Microwave the mixture on high for 1 minute. Stir and, if needed, continue to cook for 15 seconds at a time until the chips are melted. You might also want to put the chocolate in a bowl over a pot of near-boiling water (double-boiler style) being careful not to let the water touch the bottom of the bowl.
• Working quickly, use kitchen tongs to dip one pretzel at a time into the melted chocolate. Cover the pretzels completely with chocolate, or cover only half of the pretzel for a distinctive look (that also lets people know what's under the chocolate and is ideal for party presentations).
• Place the dipped pretzels on the prepared work surface. The chocolate will cool and dry onto the pretzels quickly. Dip as many pretzels as you have chocolate. Allow all of the chocolate-covered pretzels to dry (this typically takes less than an hour) before storing in a cool, dry place in an airtight covered container with parchment paper or wax paper between each layer of pretzels.
