 fluffy.  Add egg and vanilla; beat until smooth.  In a small bowl, combine
 flour and salt.  Add dry ingredients to creamed mixture; stir until a soft
 dough forms.  For each cookie, shape 3 small balls of dough, graduated in
 size.  Place on a greased baking sheet and flatten balls slightly to
 resemble a snowman (cookies should be about 4 1/2 inches long). Break
 pretzels into twig shapes.  Insert pieces of broken pretzels into sides of
 cookies for arms.  Press small pieces of pretzels onto cookies for mouths.
 Press chocolate chips onto cookies for eyes, noses, and buttons. Bake 10 to
 12 minutes or until edges are light brown. Cool completely on a wire rack.
