Browned Butter and M&M Pretzel Cookies #BakingIdeas

Disclosure: This is a sponsored post for the Collective Bias®  Social Fabric® Community where I used M&Ms to make these baked goods, Browned Butter and M&M Pretzel Cookies, that are great for any celebration. #BakingIdeas #shop #cbias

We’re in prime cookie baking season right now {Yum!} and I’ve been sending my Marine to work with my latest holiday concoctions to try out on his fellow Marines…basically I have my own personal crew of taste testers 🙂 . Every day he comes home with the sweetest comments from them and occasionally requests, too. One request was for a chocolate chip cookie that was for the holidays. Well, I took that idea and ran with it. I liked the idea of a chocolate chip cookie for the holidays but wanted to make it versatile enough that it could be used for any holiday, celebration, party, or special occasion and not just Christmas.

So I took a yummy browned-butter cookie base and added the most colorful chocolate candies out there, M&M’s. I wanted something salty to offset the sweet so in went salted pretzels, too.

These would be a perfect office party recipe or even a class party recipe. You look at these and they just sort of make you smile, they’re so colorful and cheerful.  And cheer is something that’s welcome at any party!

To make these cookies I headed to Walmart to stock up on M&Ms. Look at all the colors and variety! Peanut M&M’s, Plain M&M’s, Pretzel M&M’s and everything in between…

 Cook’s Note:

This is a great, versatile recipe that can be used with or without a stand mixer.
