Peanut Butter Pretzel M&M Cookies

Intrigued? I know I was! Pretzels in a cookie? Who would have thought? But it works, so good! What an interesting salty/sweet combo. Good thing I'm taking most of these to work tomorrow, otherwise they wouldn't last long...

1/2 cup salted butter (softened at room temperature)
1/2 cup brown sugar
1/4 cup granulated sugar
3/4 cup peanut butter
1 egg
1 tsp vanilla
1/2 tsp baking soda
1 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
3/4 cup M&M's
3/4 cup pretzel pieces

Cream butter and sugars together. Then add in the peanut butter, egg and vanilla. Slowly mix in the dry ingredients. Do not overmix. Fold in the M&M's and pretzel pieces. Chill the dough in the fridge for about 30 minutes.

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Scoop dough by teaspoonful and mold into ball and press onto ungreased (or lined) cookie sheet. Bake for 8-9 minutes. Cookies will be very soft and may appear undone, but they will firm up as they cool. Allow to cool on wire racks.
