Ingredients
- 1 cup Butter softened
- ½ cup White sugar
- ½ cup Brown sugar
- ½ teaspoon Salt
- 1 teaspoon Baking soda
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 2 Eggs
- 2 ¼ cups All-purpose flour
- 1 ¼ cups Pretzels lightly crushed
- 1 cup M&Ms or vegan chocolate gems
- 5 ounces Caramel candy cut into small pieces
Instructions
Make the Cookie Dough:
- Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease cookie sheets or line with a silicone baking mat.
- In a large bowl, cream together butter, white sugar, and brown sugar until smooth.
- Add vanilla extract and eggs, then mix until fully combined.
- Add all-purpose flour, baking soda, and salt. Stir until a soft dough forms.
- Fold in caramel pieces, M&Ms, and crushed pretzels with a spoon.
Bake the Cookies:
- Roll dough into 1-inch balls and place on prepared cookie sheets about 2 inches apart.
- Bake for 8–10 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown and the centers are just set.
Cool and Serve:
- Let cookies rest on the baking sheet for 10 minutes before transferring - this allows the caramel to firm up. Serve warm or let cool completely.
