Brown Sugar Pretzel Cookies

Our favourite type of souvenirs to buy when we travel are baking and craft supplies. When we were in Penang in January, we found a lovely little kitchen shop and discovered a few little gadgets that we haven’t seen locally. One of our favourite purchases was a cookie cutter in the shape of a pretzel. It is a great shape for a cookie as all the edges make for a nice crisp cookie. We love the plunger style cookie cutters – they cut out shapes so well.

Sarah baked  Brown Sugar Pretzel Cookies which are delicious. They are crisp and not too sweet. We love their pretzel shape.
