Behold The Dylan Cookie!

 

I have been working on these cookies for a little while now. I've made a few different versions. I had this idea to incorporate a couple of my nephew's fave flavors into one cookie. He loves chocolate covered pretzels and chocolate chip cookies. So my idea was to throw crushed up pretzels into a decadent gooey chocolate chip cookie dough. The tricky part has been finding the right cookie dough recipe that helps the pretzel flavor versus distracting from the pretzel flavor. During this batch I was tweaking it as I baked more and more cookies. Every time the oven door opened out came a sheet of slightly different looking cookies. I had to laugh at myself as I looked at the entire bunch cooling on our table. At a glance one could notice the differences.  

 

The flavor is good. They passed Brad's approval but I wanted them to bake up puffy. I like puffy cookies. So I got out my jumbo cookie sheet and tried it. The puffiness was better. Oddly enough I bought the jumbo cookie sheet with Dylan in mind. When he comes over I always serve up some jumbo cookies. Seems fitting for these cookies to only turn out right on that particular cookie sheet. 

 

I think they are good enough to present to him tomorrow when the family meets up for a random Sunday get-together. However, I could have a change of opinion come morning. Perhaps they need to be tested further? Yes, I'm most always prepared with a back up baking plan!
