Sweet Salty Chocolate Chip Cookies

Compensation was supposed to be provided by Ritz Crackers via Mode Media.

Like it or not—and, really, READY or not—the holidays are coming up fast and furious, my friends. I’ve already seen “save the date” and “next meeting is a cookie swap” emails going around. I do love traditional holiday foods and baking, but sometimes I like to have a little fun and change things up a bit. We often use Ritz Crackers as part of holiday planning, but we haven’t really used them as part of our holiday baking before. But then my friend Jill was like, “What if you put Ritz Crackers and pretzels crushed up in chocolate-chip cookies and then baked them?” Don’t I have amazingly smart friends? All the sweet of a chocolate-chip cookie with salty, crunchy pretzels AND Ritz Crackers! Seriously! It’s the holidays—let’s have a little sweet salty chocolate party in our mouths for a while!

    This looks like a fantastic recipe. It is easy to make and looks delicious. I will have to make some for the cookie exchange this weekend.

    These Sweet Salty Chocolate Chip Cookies sound like they would be good. We love Ritz Crackers, chocolate chip cookies, and pretzels so I am definitely going to make these cookies. Thanks for sharing recipe.

    My family and I love sweet and salty snacks for movie nights! I think we might try this recipe some time, we love trying new foods.

    I love cookies but I get bored to bake the same thing over and over again. Thus, this is a great addition to my recipe book. 🙂
