M&M Pretzel Cookies

Prep Time 15 minutes
Cook Time 12 minutes
Servings 24 cookies

Ingredients

  • 2/3 c. shortening
  • 2/3 c. margarine
  • 1 c. brown sugar
  • 1 c. white sugar
  • 2 eggs
  • 2 tsp vanilla
  • 1 tsp baking soda
  • 1 cup whole wheat flour
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1-12 ounce bag M&Ms
  • 1 cup coarsely chopped pretzels

Instructions

  • Beat together shortening and margarine.
  • Add in sugars.
  • Beat to combine.
  • Add in eggs and vanilla. Beat to combine.
  • Add in whole wheat flour and all purpose flour and mix slowly to combine.
  • Fold in M&Ms and pretzels.
  • Scoop tablespoons onto a cookie sheet. Leave a lot of room between cookies. They will spread like crazy.
  • Bake at 350 degrees for 8-12 minutes or until the bottoms are just starting to turn brown. My family prefers cookies on the gooier side, so I tend to try and err on the side of caution by pulling them out a bit early. However, if you like crunchy cookies, leave them in.
