A soft and chewy thick cookie bar packed with chocolate chips and M&M’s for 4th of July!
Red, White & Blue M&M Cookie Bars
A friend of mine came to town for Memorial Day, so naturally I had to make her the family some of these 4th of July M&M Cookie Bars!
There is so much that I love about the 4th of July! I just have to have the best spread for grilling or a picnic. Some of my favorites are Veggie Pizza, Blueberry Pretzel Salad, Beer Dip, and Strawberry Fluff Salad! And for a splash of red, white, and blue I like keeping it easy with 4th of July Ice Cream Sandwiches!
These cookie bars are so easy to make for any holiday! All you have to do is swap out the M&M’s, like in these Valentine M&M Cookie Bars or Christmas M&M Cookie Bars!
