Kitchen Sink Cookies
Cupcakes. Please tell us you have tried the latest creation from m&m’s. You know what we’re talking about...
Someone deserves a candy making prize. Do they have those? They should. Because kids – the pretzel? And the chocolate? Together? In that candy coated shell? That is what award winning candy tastes like.
We spied those new blue bags a few months ago...there, wedged between the dark chocolate purple and coconut tan (which contrary to popular opinion we find delicious), were the pretzels m&m's. Sweet candyman!
We bought 2 bags. Ok fine we bought 3. Maybe 4. Oh who cares we lost count! New candy is irresistible to us! It’s Blue-Eyed Bakers cat-nip! We can’t be expected to remember all the details!
A few weeks later, after working our way through a rather large number of bags, sprinkling some on ice cream, mixing into our cereal, adding to our coffee etc etc – we just had to throw them into some cookies.
I mean, we’re bakers after all.
And what better cookies than the kitchen sink variety. You know, those ugly, plump, little numbers that you mix up with whatever you happen to have on hand, adding in willy-nilly whatever falls out of the cabinet? Raisins? Sure. Chocolate? Of course. PRETZEL M&M’S?! Yes, sweet candy making geniuses, YES.

I can't believe I haven't tried those M & M's yet...I am a huge fan of chocolate-covered pretzels. Must run to store now!
This is similar to compost cookies!! I like!!!!!
Holy moley these look fantastic!
those pretzel m&ms got me too. my fave ever.
These look like the cookies I used to make a sa kid - everything goes! Great way to use up those half-packs of M&Ms etc! I have never had the pretzel M&Ms though - gotta try those!
Gahh I really do need to get those M&M's... and make these cookies. Yes, I must do both of these things.
I love these cookies!! but whats not to love with all those great ingredients!
I made these (minus the raisins) for my husband's birthday, since he LOVES both pretzel M&M's and peanut butter. These are some of the BEST cookies ever. Thanks for the perfect recipe to please my man!
