Preparation Instructions

Blend butter, margarine and sugars on medium to high speed until creamy, approximately 2-3 minutes. Add vanilla and eggs, one at a time. Mix well.

Turn mixer to LOW and slowly incorporate flours, baking soda and salt. Mix until JUST combined.

By hand, stir in chocolate chips and M&M candies.

Chill dough while preheating oven to 350ºF.

Using an ice cream scoop, scoop large balls cookie dough onto ungreased cookie sheet, spacing two inches apart.

Break mini pretzels into pieces and press 2-3 pretzel pieces into each ball of cookie dough.

Bake 11-12 minutes, check cookies. If cookies are just browning on edges but centers are soft, remove and let bake on the pan 1-2 minutes.

For crispier cookies, bake 12-14 minutes.

Cool on wire racks and enjoy!
