Ingredients
- 1 cup butter softened
- 1 cup brown sugar
- 3/4 cup white granulated sugar
- 1 cup creamy peanut butter
- 2 eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup pretzels roughly chopped
- 1 cup M&M's
- 1 cup mini chocolate chips
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit. Line a cookie sheet with parchment paper and set aside.
- In a large mixing bowl or stand mixer, cream the butter, brown sugar, and white sugar together until it is light and fluffy, about 5 minutes. Add the peanut butter and mix well. Then beat the eggs in one at a time and then the vanilla extract until everything is well incorporated.
- Now add the flour, baking soda, baking powder, and salt and mix together until just combined. Gently stir in the pretzel pieces, M&M's, and mini chocolate chips until they are evenly dispersed throughout the batter but do not overmix.
- Scoop the dough using a cookie scoop or a heaping tablespoon onto the baking sheet. Bake for 8-10 minutes or just until the edges start to brown and the center is baked through. Remove from the oven and place on a cooling rack to finish cooling. Enjoy!
Notes
Tips:
- Measure the flour by spooning it into a measuring cup and taking a knife to scrap off any excess on top. This allows for the most accurate amount of flour to be used.
- Be sure to cream the butter and sugar together until light and fluffy, about 5 minutes. The cookies will have a much better texture and flavor.
- Use any variety of M&M's like plain, peanut, peanut butter, or caramel.
- For more picture-looking cookies, save a little of the M&M's, chocolate chips, or pretzels and place them on the cookie dough right before baking.
