This post is a little delayed but here goes... I worked Thanksgiving and wanted to bring some treats for my coworkers. I made some pumpkin oatmeal cookies and tried to make some peanut bars (which I didn't like enough to bring to work). I wanted a second cookie. I saw these and although not very seasonal seemed novel enough to try. They were a pretty big hit at work and were consumed much more quickly than the oatmeal cookies.
Here is the original Pin:
Another basic cookie recipe... wet ingredients in the mixer, dry ingredients added, then chunky parts added at end. I decided to go with all chocolate chips instead of including peanut butter chips because... well, I didn't have any... and I had chocolate chips. Part of the reason I made these too, is because we had a bunch of pretzels left over from our Halloween party (I know).
It helps to have a husband that is willing to do some chopping... it comes in handy in life.
These cookies are nice and simple, but the added crunch of the pretzels is a happy surprise. I forgot to add the chunky salt to the top before baking them, but I bet that would make them extra tasty. I made these cookies on the small side so there would be more to go around so the baking time was on the low end of the recipe spectrum.

These cookies were quite popular at work and I think I would make them again. I don't know why I never thought of combining chocolate and pretzels in a cookie.
Cost: This actually helped to use up some leftovers (the pretzels) so I call it a win in the cost department.
Time: Didn't take long at all.
Difficulty: Chopping pretzels is the hard part. Get someone else to do it for you and you'll be all set.
Aesthetic Appeal: They're pretty simple and not terribly impressive looking but mine actually compare favorably to the originals.
Life Enhancement: Coworkers like cookies. That is all.
