Cranberry Pretzel Crunch Cookies



A few days ago I decided to mix up a quick batch of cookies ~ I didn't have any nuts on hand and I wanted to give the cookies some crunch. I looked in my cupboards, and found a leftover bag of pretzels. I decided to add them to the cookies and I was very pleased with the results. The salty crunchy pretzels are a tasty and economical substitution for nuts.

Frugal Note: I stock up on cake mix when it is on sale for $1.00 a box.

Cranbery Pretzel Crunch Cookies

1 pkg. cake mix (I used vanilla, any flavor could work)
1/2 c. oil
2 eggs
1 cup broken pretzels (or more)
1 cup craisins

Blend all ingredients (do not use mixer). Drop by teaspoon onto ungreased cookie sheet. Bake at 350 degrees for 10 to 12 minutes.

Everyone loved them.
