Ingredients
1 cup
flour
1 tsp.
baking powder
1 tsp.
baking soda
¾ tsp.
kosher salt
½ cup
Kowalski's Unsalted Butter, at room temperature
¾ cup
dark brown sugar
¼ cup
sugar
1
egg plus 1 yolk
2 tsp.
Kowalski's Organic Madagascar Vanilla Extract
1 cup
mini red & green M&M candies (or chopped M&Ms)
1 cup
rolled oats
1 cup

1 ½ cup
white chocolate chips
Directions
- Preheat oven to 350°.
- In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, soda and salt; set aside.
- In an electric mixer, beat butter with sugars until light and fluffy.
- Add egg, yolk and vanilla; beat just until well combined.
- Add flour mixture; beat on low speed just until flour is no longer visible.
- Fold in candy, oats, pretzels and chocolate chips by hand.
- Drop 24 evenly sized rounded spoonfuls (or use a #40 cookie scoop) 2" apart on 2 parchment-lined baking sheets.
- Bake pans one at a time in the preheated oven for 7 min. Press dough down slightly with the back of a soup spoon and rotate pan 180°; bake cookies 3-5 min. more until just barely set and slightly puffy.
- Remove from oven; let cookies rest on sheet pan for 2 min., then transfer to wire racks to cool completely.
