Ingredients
Scale
- 1/2 cup butter, softened
- 1/2 cup sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 3/4 cup milk
- 1 teaspoon almond extract
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- dash of salt
- 2–3 cups all-purpose flour*
- semi-sweet mini chocolate morsels
- 1–2 cups powdered sugar
Instructions
- In a stand mixer, cream together the butter, sugar, and eggs.
- Add the milk, almond extract, salt, baking powder, chocolate chips, and then enough flour to make dough thick, so it doesn’t stick to your finger (like making bread). To test this, wet your finger and then stick it down in the dough. If it doesn’t stick, you’re good.
- Shape dough into four long breadstick shapes–about 2-3 inches in diameter and the length of a cookie sheet–then fold each into a pretzel.
- Bake at 350° F. for about 20 minutes or until light golden brown
- Cool completely, then make a glaze using about 1-2 cups of powdered sugar, a teaspoon of almond extract, and about 2 tablespoons of milk, to taste and desired consistency. You can add sprinkles, too. I used the clear sprinkles on mine.
