Pretzel M&M Cookies

I made these for the first time last summer and now I make them constantly. They’re definitely in my top 5 favorite cookies. I used to think crispy M&Ms were the best kind of M&Ms, but I believe they stopped making them (or they’re just really difficult to find for whatever reason). Now pretzel ones are definitely my favorite. They also make the best cookies. Salty, sweet and crunchy.

Pretzel M&M Cookies

• 2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
• 3/4 teaspoon salt
• 3/4 teaspoon baking soda
• 1/4 teaspoon baking powder
• 2 sticks unsalted butter, at room temperature
• 1 cup light brown sugar, packed
• 1/2 cup granulated sugar
• 2 large eggs
• 1 tablespoon vanilla extract
• 1 cup semi sweet chocolate chips
• 1 1/2 cups pretzel M&M’s
• Sea salt, for sprinkling on cookies

Preheat oven to 375°F.
Whisk flour, salt, baking soda, and baking powder in a bowl, set aside.
Cream butter and sugars together until smooth. Add egg and vanilla and beat until smooth.
On low speed, slowly add in the flour mixture until just combined. Stir in chocolate chips and pretzel M&M’s.
Drop heaping tablespoonfuls of dough on greased prepared baking sheets about 2 inches apart. Sprinkle with sea salt. Bake 10-12 minutes (I use REALLY big spoonfuls so mine usually take about 14 minutes) until cookies are slightly golden around the edges. Transfer cookies to a cooling rack and let cool completely, etc.
Makes about 2 1/2 dozen cookies.
