Salted Peanut Butter Pretzel M&M’S Cookies

These cookies are delicious! I made these on a Friday morning a couple weeks ago and I think they are one of my favorites now!  Some of the work is a tedious, but it is definitely worth it!

 Ingredients
1 stick of butter (1/2 cup) at room temperature
1/2 cup brown sugar
1/2 cup white sugar
1/2 teaspoon vanilla
1 large egg
1 1/2 cups flour
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/4 cup pretzel pieces (break small pretzel rods into 1/4″ pieces)
1/4 cup M&M’S® MINIS
3/4 cup M&M’S®  Peanut Butter, roughly chopped in half
sea salt or kosher salt for sprinkling

Process
1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees. 
2. Cream butter and sugars together until light and fluffy. 
3. Add vanilla and egg and beat until combined. 
4. Mix dry ingredients together and then add to dough. 
5. When combined, add pretzels and Mini M&M’s and mix until incorporated.  Add Peanut Butter M&M’s and gently mix by hand until distributed through dough.
7. Scoop into 1 1/2″ balls onto parchment lined baking sheets. 
8. Cook for 7-9 minutes (I baked mine for 10-11 minutes because our oven is funny), until set on edges and lightly golden on the outside edge.  
9. While the cookies are still hot, lightly sprinkle with salt.  
10. Cool on cookie sheet for 2 minutes and then transfer to cooling rack.
