Step 7Channel your inner preschooler!
This is the fun part! Make like you're five years old again and go nuts with the play-doh. Make any shapes you like: classic pretzel knot, Christmas themed shapes (like a Christmas tree, star or stockings). Or you can do something completely different and make Christmas squid, like I did. If you have some patience, you can even use your dough ropes to spell out words to express your own holiday sentiment.
If at any point the dough becomes too warm to work with, just pop it in the freezer for a couple minutes (but don't forget about it!).
Keep in mind that the pretzels will puff up a little during baking so leave so leave enough space for the dough to expand a little.
Lay out your shapes on a cookie sheet covered in parchment paper. Bake at 350 for 10 minutes. Remove from cookie sheet and let cool on wire rack. Make sure they're completely cooled before you go onto the next step.
Note: don't panic if parts of your pretzels break off when you're transferring them to the cooling rack. You'll be able to "glue" them back together when you apply the chocolate glaze.
