Sweet and Salty Cookies Recipe

 #Sweet #and #Salty #Cookies #Recipe

(Makes 18 ginormous cookies)

Ingredients:

• 3 cups all-purpose flour (equivalent to 12.6 ounces)
• 1 teaspoon baking soda
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 3/4 cup butter (equivalent to 1 and 1/2 sticks)
• 3/4 cup white sugar
• 3/4 cup dark brown sugar
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 2 large eggs
• 1 cup M&Ms
• 1 cup roughly broken pretzels

Directions:

• Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F.
• In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt.  Set the dry ingredients aside.
• Cream the butter, white sugar, and brown sugar.  (Whip them until they are fluffy.)
• Mix in the vanilla extract.
• Mix in the eggs.
• Gradually mix in the dry ingredients.
• Stir in the M&Ms and broken pretzels.
• Line a baking sheet with a silicon mat or parchment paper.
• Using a 1/4 measuring cup full of dough for each cookie, scoop out dough, form into a ball, then slightly flatten it with the bottom of the measuring cup.  (See note below if you want to bake smaller cookies.)
• Bake them 4 to 6 to a tray in the preheated oven for about 13 minutes or until slightly browned on the edges.
• Let them rest for about 3 minutes and transfer them to a cooling rack.

Note:  To bake smaller sized cookies, I used the Medium Oxo cookie scoop (which is equivalent to 1 heaping tablespoon).  Bake for about 8 minutes or until slightly browned on the edges.
