¾ cup (1-1/2 sticks) butter; softened
1 pack (3.9-ounce) chocolate flavor instant pudding/pie mix
⅓ cup Firmly packed brown sugar
¼ cup Granulated sugar
2 tablespoons Chocolate syrup or milk

Directions

1.Heat oven to 375øF. In large bowl, beat margarine, pudding mix, sugars, chocolate syrup, egg and vanilla until creamy. Add combined flour, baking soda and oats; beat well.

2.Shape dough into 13 balls, about 1-½ inches in diameter. (If dough is too sticky to shape, stir in flour by teaspoonfuls until easy to handle.) Place 2 inches apart on large ungreased cookie sheets; flatten slightly.

Insert broken end of pretzel stick half about 1-½ inches into dough.

Decorate as desired with candies and sugar.

3.Bake 12 to 14 minutes or just until edges are set. (Do not overbake.) Cool 1 minute on cookie sheets; remove to wire rack. Cool completely. Store tightly covered.
