Ingredients:  1/2 cup packed brown sugar 1/2 cup butter or margarine, softened 2 tablespoons water 1 teaspoon vanilla extract 1 1/2 cups 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 |
| Instructions: 1. Heat oven to 350 degrees F (180 C). 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. Makes 20 snacks.

In my very innocent thought, I think that the whole part except the cookie part was brilliant! I kindly suggest that the cookie part would be made out of peanut butter cookies instead. (other than the cookie) I LOVED YOUR RECEPIE!!! Cheerio!

These would be great if mine looked like the picture. I tried pre-made sugar cookie instead to save time but could not keep the fork from sticking in the dough to make the bristle effects. Looked more like pumpkins! haha
