Loaded Pretzel Cookies with Coconut and M&M’s
Salty pretzels, chewy coconut, and sweet M&M's give these loaded pretzel cookies an abundance of tastes and textures.
Ingredients
- 1 cup butter softened
- 1 cup sugar
- 1 cup packed brown sugar
- 2 eggs
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 2-1/2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 2 cups miniature pretzels broken
- 1-1/2 cups flaked coconut
- 1-1/2 cups mini M&M's
Instructions
- In a large mixing bowl, cream butter and sugars at medium speed of an electric mixer until light and fluffy.
- Add eggs and vanilla. Continue to beat at medium speed until ingredients are well-combined.
- In a separate bowl, sift together flour, baking powder, baking soda and salt.
- With the mixer on low, add the dry ingredients, about 1/3 of the mixture at a time, to the creamed mixture. Mix until just combined. Repeat this step until all the dry ingredients have been added to the flour mixture.
- Gently add in the pretzels, coconut, and M&M’s.
- Refrigerate dough for 30 minutes before baking. In the meantime, preheat oven to 350°.
- Form two tablespoonfuls of dough into balls. Place on a greased cookie sheet, about 3 inches apart. Bake for 12-14 minutes or until cookies reach desired level of doneness.
- Remove from pans to cool on wire racks.
