1 Heat oven to 375°F. In large bowl, stir cookie mix, 1/2 cup butter, the egg and 2 tablespoons beer until soft dough forms. Stir in crushed pretzels.

Im looking forward to making these! Use beer like Guiness stout. It comes in single tall cans has a sweet smooth chocholatey taste.use the few tbls for the recipe and enjoy the rest. Pour in a mug 3/⁴ way let it sit. Then pour the rest. In the words of homer simpson "mmmm beeeer" lol. The alchol cooks off in response to the other person saying nothing should have beer in it.

These cookies were fabulous! The pretzel in the dough compliments the chocolate so well!. You do not taste the beer but it does lend to the texture and density of the cookies. YUMMY!
