    These are terrific, and quite addictive. I let the dough sit at room temperature for a few minutes after taking from the freezer and use the smooth side of a meat tenderizer on top of my biscuit cutter to push through the dough. I also put the pretzels in a ziplock bag and pound them with the same implement. Makes crushing them easy and avoids crumbs everywhere. Dough is a bit crumbly as mentioned by others but easy to smoosh together. Definitely a keeper recipe.

    These are delicious.They sort of taste like a Cheez-It but more complex. The dough was very crumbly for me. I think next time I might knead the dough a little longer or incorporate smaller chunks of butter.. When I cut through the frozen dough I ended up with lots of tiny crumbs. I tried to mush them together but the final product came out a little misshapen and overcooked on some parts. I think a slightly wetter dough would be easier to handle. I wonder if a tad of melted butter might help?

    I have made these several times and I have never had an issue cutting them. They are a delicious and addictive cocktail cracker/cookie. One of my go to entertaining recipes.

    We really loved these. I did crush my pretzels somewhat but I think next time I would try adding them to the food processor whole. I didn’t have trouble cutting these right out of the freezer, if you have experience with Roman’s salted chocolate chunk shortbread cookies, this is the same situation.

    These are HORRID to cut straight out of the freezer (bread knife is helpful). But they are very good and incredibly quick to put together.

    Super easy and delicious. Agree that it's not necessary to crush the pretzels before adding to the food processor. Make sure to warn people if putting out at a party that they are savory - a lot of people were surprised when they tasted them and they weren't sweet (but loved them anyway).

    These were easy to blitz together and perfect for a party. I don’t think you need to crush the pretzels before adding them to the food processor. The machine did the job for me.
