I also got this off of the Betty Crocker site, what a fun idea for a party!
1/2 | cup packed brown sugar |
1/2 | cup butter or margarine, softened |
2 | tablespoons water |
1 | teaspoon vanilla |
1 1/2 | cups Gold Medal® all-purpose flour |
1/8 | teaspoon salt |
10 | pretzel rods, about 8 1/2 inches long, cut crosswise in half |
2 | teaspoons shortening |
2/3 | cup semisweet chocolate chips |
Butterscotch-flavored chips, melted |
1. | Heat oven to 350ºF. Mix brown sugar, butter, water and vanilla in medium bowl. Stir in flour and salt. Shape dough into twenty 1 1/4-inch balls. |
2. | Place pretzel rod halves on ungreased cookie sheet. Press ball of dough onto cut end of each pretzel rod. Press dough with fork to resemble "bristles" of broom. |
3. | Bake about 12 minutes or until set but not brown. Remove from cookie sheet. Cool completely on wire rack, about 30 minutes. |
4. | Cover cookie sheet with waxed paper. Place brooms on waxed paper. Heat shortening and chocolate chips over low heat, stirring occasionally, until melted and smooth; remove from heat. Spoon melted chocolate over brooms, leaving about 1 inch at top of pretzel handle and bottom halves of cookie bristles uncovered. Drizzle with melted butterscotch chips. Let stand until chocolate is set. |
