Chocolate Pretzel Cookies

Preheat the oven to 350°F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and set aside.

Using a 1-1/2 tablespoon (medium) cookie scoop, scoop out 18 balls of sugar cookie dough from the tube. Roll each ball in the crushed pretzels and then place on the prepared cookie sheet, leaving 3-inches between them. Continue until all the dough has been used (additional cookie sheets or multiple batches will be necessary).

Slide the cookies into the oven, taking care not to overcrowd it. Bake for 18-20 minutes, until golden brown.

Allow the cookies to completely cool before transferring them to a wire rack. Set the wire rack on top of a waxed paper-lined cookie sheet.

Break the chocolate into pieces and microwave for 30 second intervals, stirring after each one, until fully melted and smooth. Drizzle all the cookies with chocolate. Let harden before serving.
