Step3Bake 7 minutes. Remove cookie sheets from oven. Place 1 pretzel then 1 candy on top of each cookie. (Cookies will still be slightly soft on top so don’t be alarmed if pretzel digs into top of cookie. That will just help it adhere.) Bake 3 minutes longer.

Step4Remove cookie sheets from oven. Immediately press 1 colorful candy or pecan half on top of each melted candy. Let stand on cookie sheets until cookies have cooled and candies have re-hardened. (Cookies can be refrigerated to cool cookies completely.)

Step5Store cookies in airtight container up to 3 days. If you want to freeze cookies, use pecans instead of colorful candies; candies will crack or lose their color in freezer.
