I made White Chocolate-Pretzel Cookies for some buddies one night.

You’re supposed to make use of white chocolate baking wafers in these cookies – I couldn’t discover something like that in our native grocery shops so I used common white chocolate chips. I cooked the cookies precisely because the recipe mentioned they usually turned out crunchier than I’d have appreciated, nevertheless, all my buddies liked them.
