Photo: Kid's Candy Cookies Recipe
Ingredients
- 2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 2 sticks unsalted butter, at room temperature
- 1 cup packed light brown sugar
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 tablespoon vanilla extract
- 1 large egg plus 1 egg yolk
- 1 cup Pretzel M&M'S
- 3 ounces bittersweet chocolate, chopped
- 1/2 cup toffee pieces
- 3/4 cup peanut butter chips
Directions
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Line 2 baking sheets with parchment paper. Whisk the flour and baking soda in a bowl.
In a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, cream the butter, brown sugar and granulated sugar on low speed until incorporated, then increase to high speed and beat until light and fluffy.
Add the salt, vanilla, whole egg and egg yolk to the mixer; beat until thoroughly combined. Add the Pretzel M&M'S and beat for a few seconds until slightly crushed. Gradually add the flour mixture, mixing on low speed until just combined. Mix in the bittersweet chocolate, toffee pieces and peanut butter chips.
Roll heaping tablespoonfuls of dough into balls and place on the prepared baking sheets, about 2 inches apart. Slightly flatten each ball with your fingers.
Bake the cookies until the edges are golden brown and the centers are no longer wet, 11 to 13 minutes. Cool on the baking sheets for a few minutes, then transfer to a rack to cool completely.

This recipe is bar none one of the best cookie recipes I've ever made! I did make one small substitution, however, and used Ghirardelli Semi-Sweet Chocolate Chips instead of the bittersweet chocolate! I doubled the recipe, and there is not a soul who has tasted them who doesn't want the recipe! My KitchenAid mixer did not have any problems mixing in the pretzel M & M's whole.

What a perfect name for these perfect cookies! They are incredibly rich, so (thankfully (USUALLY one will do the trick for me, but they are perfect for pot lucks and the like. They are one of my most requested items for pot lucks! They are incredibly easy and perfect to whip up for those great Movie Night In sweet treats! I like the dark chocolate. If I had one complaint, they can be a little dry and crumbly instead of crispy, but a few seconds int he microwave, a cold glass of milk, and my afternoon flies in a flurry of sweet, salty, nutty, chocolaty goodness!
