Ghirardelli Chocolate Chip Pretzel Cookies

I saw the original recipe for these cookies on Sugar Derby's website and I knew I had to try them. I was feeling a little lazy today though since I've been at work since 6:30 am. YUCK! So I went out and bought Ghirardelli chocolate chip cookie mix. I wanted to make these for my friends since we're all back from college now! I love Ghirardelli so I knew it would be a good mix. I changed a couple things pertaining to the way I made these cookies though didn't quite follow the directions because I wanted to experiment!
