Chunky Chocolate Chip Cookies

Filed Under: candy, cookie, dessert Tagged With: , , ,

Chunky Chocolate Chip Cookies are loaded with chocolate chips, pretzel pieces and M&M’s!
One of my absolute favorite things in the world is CHOCOLATE. So when Julie and Jen announced it was the secret ingredient for this round of GYCO, I knew I had to accept! Of course upon accepting said challenge my brain began swirling with ideas and wondering just what I should make? I wanted to make something that everyone in my house would enjoy, so I opted for some chunky chocolate chip cookies.
If you know me then you may also know that it wasn’t until recently that I started to like chocolate chip cookies, crazy I know! But if you love chocolate chip cookies, chocolate covered pretzels or even M&M’s then you are going to flip for these cookies. I can’t seem to stop eating them! The best part about this recipe, is that you can customize these to fit the tastes of your family and friends too. I can’t wait to try these again and use mini marshmallows and chocolate covered raisins or nuts, enjoy and happy baking!
