Sweet and Salty Chocolate Cookies

Confession: I have major late night snack addiction that involves Plain M&M’s and Pretzels!  So when it came time to start baking with M&M’s, I knew that I wanted to add some pretzels into the mix.

The best part is that you do not need a mixer to make these drop brownie style cookies.  Just melt and stir the ingredients on the stove top, then bake.  Super quick and easy!

These Dark Chocolate Cookies are extremely moist and fudgy.  Stuffed full of M&M’s and Pretzel pieces for that chocolaty, crunchy, sweet and salty combo.

This Drop Brownie Cookie Recipe is my favorite lazy day cookie.  It is perfect for those days that I don’t feel like lugging out the monster sized KitchenAid.  To make these cookies, you only need to melt and stir the ingredients on the stove top and bake.  But don’t forget to add the M&M’s and pretzels for over the top cookie perfection!
