Chocolate Chunk Pretzel Cookies

Who doesn't love Chocolate Chunk Pretzel Cookies? Sweet, Salty and Vegan is sort of a dream come true!

MARCH MADNESS AM I RIGHT???? I mean we thought winter was long and now we have COVID-19 to deal with. I am not trying to be trite or blaze about our current state of affairs, really I am not. Shit is real out there. Tons of people are affected and it seems things are only getting way worse before they get better. I myself have been feeling the effects of self-isolation. I’m tired, irritable, borderline depressed, sometimes joyous, angry.. the list goes on. There isn’t one of us who isn’t feeling something. It’s OK to be feeling all the feels. I am beyond grateful that I am still teaching, that I have a wonderful community to lean on and have a huge support system by my side. Suffice to say, my situation could be so much worse.

SO, now that that is off my chest, I promised you guys cookies. I re-made these beauties yesterday and all I can say is OMG WOW. They are so flipping good! The combo of sweet and salty has always been one of my favourites and these cookies certainly deliver on that. Here you GO!!!
