Ponytail Pretzels
Braided dough decorated with creamy frosting and sparkly sprinkles? Rapunzel never had it so good.
- Flour for dusting
- 1 package (12 count) frozen roll dough, thawed
- 2 tbsp water
- 1 tbsp kosher salt
- 1 can purchased vanilla frosting
- Assorted food coloring
- Assorted colored sprinkles and decorating sugars
Preheat oven to 425 degrees F.
Line a cookie sheet with foil and spray lightly with nonstick cooking spray; set aside.
Dust your work area with 2 tablespoons of flour. Take a roll and knead it. Then roll it into a snake shape. Repeat for remaining rolls. Place each rolled piece of dough onto prepared pan, leaving 1½ inches between each. To form a ponytail, twist up the bottom end of each piece of dough to create a curvy ponytail shape.
With a pastry brush, dampen the surface of each ponytail with a small amount of water. Sprinkle lightly with salt. Bake for 10 to 15 minutes or until lightly golden brown.
While pretzels are baking, divide frosting between several small bowls and color each with a different food coloring.
Remove baked pretzels from oven and cool on pan 5 minutes before removing to a cooling rack to cool completely.
Drizzle each with assorted colored frostings and decorate with sprinkles.
