Servings 36 cookies
Calories 210kcal
Ingredients
- 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1 cup packed brown sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 2-½ cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 2 cups miniature pretzels, broken
- 1-½ cups flaked coconut
- 1-½ cups mini M&M's
Instructions
- In a large mixing bowl, cream the butter and sugars at medium speed with an electric mixer until light and fluffy.
- Add the eggs and vanilla; continue beating until well combined.
- In a separate bowl, sift together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
- With the mixer on low speed, gradually add the dry ingredients to the creamed mixture, about one-third at a time, mixing just until combined after each addition.
- Gently fold in the pretzels, coconut, and M&M’s.
- Refrigerate the dough for 30 minutes. While the dough chills, preheat the oven to 350°F.
- Scoop about 2 tablespoons of dough and roll into balls. Place on a greased or lined baking sheet about 3 inches apart.
- Bake the cookies for 12–14 minutes, or until the cookies reach your desired level of doneness.
- Remove the cookies from the pan and cool on wire racks.
Notes
- Chilling the dough helps prevent spreading and improves flavor.
- For softer cookies, remove from the oven when centers are slightly underbaked.
- You can substitute chocolate chips for M&M’s if preferred.
