Toffee, Pretzels & Chocolate Chips
A few things happened to create this fun recipe.
1.) We had a ton of broken pretzels in a bag and wanted to put them to good use.
2.) I ordered a Heath bar in my H-E-B curbside pick up order because it was our new late night treat, and they were out, so they gave me a bag of heath toffee baking pieces.
3.) I wanted a simple cookie recipe with a familiar flavor but with some fun new additions. After watching the famous “Friends” episode The One with Phoebe’s Cookies, I based this recipe off of the Nestle Tollhouse Cookie recipe. If you know, you know.
1 + 1 + 1 = One Delicious Cookie. Please don’t comment about this math equation.
