These Cowboy Cookies with M&Ms and Pretzels are similar to my popular Loaded Christmas Cowboy Cookies except I have added Red and Green M&Ms and crushed pretzels to the coconut and pecans! These sweet, chewy cookies are sure to become a favorite for your holiday baking list!
These Cowboy Cookies explode with sweet, chewy, crunchy tastes and textures with a multitude of yummy add-ins. They are like kitchen sink cookies with toasted coconut and pecans, as well as red and green Christmas M&Ms, crushed pretzels, and dried cranberries.
How good are these cookies? Year after year I have people offer to pay me to make these cookies for them. That’s how good they are.
I intended to publish these Cowboy Cookies with M&Ms and Pretzels before Christmas but life happens and I am publishing now. They would be perfect for a game day party or any party. These cookies have added sweetness, saltiness, and texture from the M&Ms and pretzels, which is why they are so popular. 
You may think that these Cowboy Cookies with M&Ms and Pretzels might be more difficult, but other than a few more add-ins, they are as easy to make as other cookies. I love the added texture these cookies have with the oatmeal and pretzels.
