Rolo Pretzel M&M Cookies Recipe

 The ultimate sweet & salty cookie! Thick and chewy chocolate chip cookies stuffed with Caramel M&Ms and pretzels.

These delicious cookies have been MIA on my blog for the past couple of years while I’ve been re-working the recipe to make it just right. When I first posted this recipes, I used Rolos and Pretzel M&MS. And you can still do that if you want. But this time around, it seems like Pretzel M&MS are getting harder and harder to find in stores. Is that the case for anyone else? I decided to go with a recipe similar to my Copycat Panera Kitchen Sink Cookies, so I crushed the pretzels and tossed them in with the Rolos and plain M&MS.

Check out my favorite recipes with M&MS!

Recipe Tips & Notes

  • Save a handful of pretzels, Rolos, and M&MS to press into the tops of the cookies after they bake. I cut the Rolos in half before adding them to the tops. It makes them look so good and melty!
  • DON’T cut the Rolos before mixing them into the dough. DON’T. Not unless you want caramel melting all over your baking sheet and making the cookies impossible to lift off. You’ve been warned.
  • You can leave the pretzels in large chunks if you want. But I really enjoy the taste and texture when they have been finely crushed.
  • Remember that M&MS bleed their colors if chilled. So while you technically can refrigerate or freeze this dough for whatever reason, just remember that the colors may bleed some. I recommend baking the entire batch on the same day you make the dough and avoid any kind of chilling.
  • Feel free to use 2 cups of Pretzel M&MS in place of the M&MS and pretzels.

  2. Just yesterday I was staring at a big bowl of candy at work that is leftover from an event. I was thinking it would be fun to make compost cookies with all the colorful candy. Looks like you already thought of that idea. These look really good.

  3. Featuring YOU tomorrow on my blog. Thank you so much for sharing at my {wow me} wednesday party last week. Have a very Merry Christmas!

  4. These cookies sound SO delicious! I love Rolos and I love pretzels and chocolate, so I think your idea to combine both of those flavors into one cookie was nothing short of genius! Definitely pinning these!

  5. I had never heard of cookie dough dip until I started blogging. What a brilliant idea! This looks insanely delicious. I am totally trying this! Thank you so much for sharing! I LOVE your blog- all the recipes are great.

    • I really, really don’t know! I’ve made these LOTS as they’re my favorite cookie, and they always turn out…. Hm…. I mean, the only thing I can think of that would make them crumbly would be if you didn’t use all of the shortening and butter. Could that be it? Or if you used more than 2 1/2 cups flour? So sorry they didn’t work out!

  6. i’m planning on making these for a cookie exchange and i need to make about 10 dozen cookies so i was wondering how many cookies this batch makes?
