Pretzel Cookies
Here's a different look from all the round or cut-out cookies. It's easy to shape this shortbread-like dough into a pretzel. You can also sprinkle them with colored sugar or sprinkles.— Johnna Johnson, Scottsdale, Arizona

Reviews
These are cute cookies, but don't have much flavor. I will double the flavor extracts next time.
These are very tasty! I made a 1/2 batch since there's only two of us at home. (The recipe calls for 2 eggs total, so I beat 1 egg in a cup, added 1.5 Tbsp. to the dough and reserved the rest for the egg wash.) The dough did start to soften and get sticky pretty quickly, so I would recommend working with one 6-inch portion at a time and keep the rest of the dough in the fridge until you're ready for it. I'll definitely be making these again!
