Ingredients
  

Cookie Base
  • 2.5 cups mini pretzels coarsely crushed
  • 2 tbsp granulated sugar
  • 2 tbsp melted butter
  • 1 roll refrigerated sugar cookie dough 16.5 ounces
  • 3 oz cream cheese softened
  • 0.33 cup all-purpose flour
  • 0.33 cup seedless strawberry jam stirred
Drizzle
  • 2 oz cream cheese softened
  • 0.5 cup powdered sugar
  • 2 tsp milk more as needed

Equipment

  • Baking Sheets

Method
 

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F. Line two baking sheets with parchment paper and set aside.
  2. In a small bowl, stir together the crushed pretzels, granulated sugar, and melted butter until well combined.
  3. In a large bowl, break apart the sugar cookie dough. Add in the cream cheese and flour. Mix until fully blended.
  4. Scoop the dough into 24 to 28 small balls, about 1¼ inches each. Roll each ball in the pretzel mixture.
  5. Arrange the dough balls about 2 inches apart on the prepared baking sheets. Press an indentation into each.
  6. Bake for 10 to 13 minutes until the edges are set and golden. Press the indentations again if needed. Cool on a wire rack.
  7. Fill each cooled cookie with about 1 teaspoon of strawberry jam.
  8. For the drizzle, stir together cream cheese, powdered sugar, and milk until smooth. Adjust milk for drizzling consistency.
  9. Use a spoon or piping bag to drizzle over the tops of the cookies.

Notes

These cookies are perfect for a summer gathering or as a sweet treat any time of the year. Adjust the amount of strawberry jam and cream cheese drizzle to taste.
