PRETZEL COOKIES

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees. On a lightly floured work surface, drop All-in-One Cookie Dough by heaping tablespoons. Using hands, gently roll each mound into an 8-inch rope.
• Gently bend one end of each rope into a loop.
• Bring other end of rope over first loop, forming pretzel.
• In a small bowl, whisk 1 large egg white with 1 teaspoon water. Brush cookies with egg wash. Sprinkle with desired topping.
• After forming cookies, place on parchment-lined baking sheets, 1 inch apart. Bake until pale golden, 13 to 15 minutes, rotating sheets halfway through.

HOMEMADE SOFT PRETZELS

Steps:

• Combine the water, sugar and kosher salt in the bowl of a stand mixer and sprinkle the yeast on top. Allow to sit for 5 minutes or until the mixture begins to foam. Add the flour and butter and, using the dough hook attachment, mix on low speed until well combined. Change to medium speed and knead until the dough is smooth and pulls away from the side of the bowl, approximately 4 to 5 minutes. Remove the dough from the bowl, clean the bowl and then oil it well with vegetable oil. Return the dough to the bowl, cover with plastic wrap and sit in a warm place for approximately 50 to 55 minutes or until the dough has doubled in size.
• Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F. Line 2 half-sheet pans with parchment paper and lightly brush with the vegetable oil. Set aside.
• Bring the 10 cups of water and the baking soda to a rolling boil in an 8-quart saucepan or roasting pan.
• In the meantime, turn the dough out onto a slightly oiled work surface and divide into 8 equal pieces. Roll out each piece of dough into a 24-inch rope. Make a U-shape with the rope, holding the ends of the rope, cross them over each other and press onto the bottom of the U in order to form the shape of a pretzel. Place onto the parchment-lined half sheet pan.
• Place the pretzels into the boiling water, 1 by 1, for 30 seconds. Remove them from the water using a large flat spatula. Return to the half sheet pan, brush the top of each pretzel with the beaten egg yolk and water mixture and sprinkle with the pretzel salt. Bake until dark golden brown in color, approximately 12 to 14 minutes. Transfer to a cooling rack for at least 5 minutes before serving.

Cut rolls into 1/2-in. slices; roll each into a 10-in. rope. Shape into a pretzel; place 2 in. apart on greased baking sheets., In a small bowl, combine almonds and sugar. In another bowl, whisk egg and water. Brush each cookie with egg wash: sprinkle with almond mixture. Bake at 400° for 8-10 minutes or until firm. Cool for 1 minute before removing to wire racks.

STUFFED PRETZEL COOKIES (PREZOOKIE)

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F.
• Roll the pizza dough into a 14-by-16-inch rectangle. With the longer side facing you, cut the dough into 3 even pieces horizontally. Sprinkle the chocolate chips, brown sugar and cinnamon evenly over each piece of dough, leaving a 1/2-inch border around the edges. Roll each piece of dough into a long tube and pinch along the seam to seal. Twist into a pretzel shape and place on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Repeat with the remaining 2 pieces of dough.
• Brush each pretzel with the egg yolk. Sprinkle evenly with the salt. Bake until golden brown, about 25 minutes.

• Increase the speed to medium and knead the dough until it is smooth and pulls away from the side of the bowl, about 3 minutes.

• Preheat the oven to 450°F and position the oven racks in the middle two positions in your oven.
• Line two baking sheets with parchment paper then lightly oil the paper.

BUTTERY SOFT PRETZEL BITES

Steps:

• Whisk together the warm milk, sugar and salt in a large mixing bowl (or in the bowl of a stand mixer). Sprinkle the yeast on top, and wait 5 minutes for the yeast to activate.
• Add the flour and melted butter. Then either (a) use a spoon to mix everything in until combined, and then use your hands to knead the dough for about 4 minutes until it is smooth, adding a bit more flour if the dough is too sticky or (b) if using a stand mixer, place the dough hook on the mixer and mix on medium speed for 4 minutes until the dough is smooth, adding a bit more flour if the dough is too sticky.
• Transfer the dough to a lightly-oiled bowl, cover with a damp towel, and let the dough rest for 20 to 30 minutes in a warm place until it has doubled in size.
• Preheat the oven to 450°F. Line two large baking sheets with parchment paper, then set aside.
• Combine the water and baking soda in a stockpot or very large saucepan and bring to a boil over medium-high heat.
• In the meantime, turn the dough out onto a lightly-oiled work surface and divide into 12 equal pieces. Roll out each piece of dough into even 3/4-inch wide ropes. Use a knife to cut the rope into individual pretzel bites, about 1-inch long each.
• Very carefully, use a spatula or large wire strainer to transfer the the bites into the boiling water, about a dozen or so at a time time, for about 30 seconds per batch. Use the spatula to transfer the pretzel bites to the parchment-lined pan, and repeat with the remaining pretzel bites.
• Finally, brush the top of each pretzel bite with the egg wash and sprinkle with the coarse sea salt.
• Bake until the pretzel bites reach your desired level of golden brown color, about 12 to 14 minutes. Transfer to a cooling rack.

ROLO PRETZEL " COOKIES"

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
• Place unbroken mini knotted pretzels in one layer onto a cookie sheet.
• Unwrap the "Rolos" and place one on top of each pretzel.
• Slide the cookie sheet into the oven for 2 to 2 1/2 minutes (until Rolos get shiny, but still hold their shape.
• Take cookie sheet out of oven.
• Place another unbroken pretzel on top of each Rolo and press down.
• Place cookie sheet in freezer for @ 10 minutes for chocolate to re-set.
• Scrape pretzels off of cookie sheet with spatula.
• NOTE: Do not try to slide Rolo Pretzels off of cookie sheet if chocolate isn't set - the chocolate will smear all over the place. If you don't want to do the "freeze" method, wait about 1/2 an hour and then "pick up" each Rolo Pretzel and set it somewhere to cool completely (It's going to take a while).
• I usually get 48 "cookies" on one cookie sheet.
