M and M Pretzel Cookies
One outdoor wall art evening, not so long ago, my husband and I were in the mood for some dessert. We couldn’t quite decide what we wanted for our treat—we talked about ice cream and a couple other things. In the end, we decided to go with cookies . I didn’t want to make our standard chocolate chip cookies so I went with something new – M&M and Pretzel cookies (not to be confused with cookies made with pretzel M&Ms).
My little girls, Riley and Caroline, are 3 1/2 and 1 1/2 and quite the cookie lovers. If we let her, Caroline (the baby) would eat “tookies” all day long. Riley, while still a fan, would choose an apple over an Oreo (oh how I wish she could say she inherited this quality from her mother!). When we find a food that is loved by all in our family, we stick with it. This was one of those treats. And let’s be honest, can you really go wrong with M&Ms?
In a large bowl, cream together butter, white and brown sugar. Mix in eggs and vanilla. Combine baking soda, salt and flour in a separate bowl. Stir into wet ingredients. Add flour until the mixture gradually. Fold in M&Ms and pretzel pieces.
Roll into balls and place on an ungreased outdoor wall art baking pan and bake for 9-11 minutes outdoor wall art (10 is perfect in my oven) or until the cookies are a light golden brown. The batch makes approximately 48 cookies (but this depends on how much dough you eat—not that I eat any cookie dough or anything).
Since it’s back to school “season,” you could make these treats for your children or an entire class, package them up in a baggie, and attach a “one smart cookie” label to the top. You can find one example here . This would be a sure way to get students excited about the school year to come!
