====Ingredients====
  *Pretzels: 250 g

  *Butter: 1 cup (unsalted), softened
  *Sugar: 2/3 cup

  *Chocolate: for drizzling, optional
  *Sprinkles: for decorating, optional

====Notes====
  *I've only ever tried this with GF pretzels and it works great

====Instructions====
  -Preheat oven to 350F. Spray two cupcake tins with oil spray
  -Put pretzels into a food processor and blend until you have a fine flour (need about 2 cups of flour)
  -Beat together butter and sugar until fluffy. Add pretzel flour and beat until combined and the mixture forms large crumbs
  -Fill up cupcake tins halfway and press down firmly with the back of a spoon
  -Bake for 20 minutes, until they start to brown
  -Let the cookies cool in the pan, then gently lift them out using a sharp knife on the edges to get them loose
  -If desired, drizzle with melted chocolate and decorate with sprinkles
