Best M&M Cookie Bars
One of my favorite things about winter in Wisconsin is my ‘outdoor refrigerator,’ which is my deck. I bake a lot more in the winter than summer, so it’s nice to be able to cool things off quickly when I am in mass production for the holidays!
Like when I make a million Rolo Pretzel Turtles, Crock Pot Christmas Crack, Peppermint Pretzel Bites, and 2-Ingredient Peanut Butter Cup Cookies to give as Christmas gifts! It just takes a few minutes for the chocolate to harden as the pan sits outside!
These Christmas M&M Cookie Bars are the perfect thing to make if you are racing against time!
What You’ll Need:
- 2 cups + 2 tbsp Flour
- 1/2 tsp Salt
- 1/2 tsp Baking Soda
- 3/4 cup Butter, Melted
- 1 cup Brown Sugar
- 1/2 cup Sugar
- 1 Egg
- 1 Egg Yolk
- 2 tsp Vanilla
- 1 cup Chocolate Chips
- 1 cup Christmas M&M’s
How to Make Christmas M&M Cookie Bars
- Preheat oven to 325 degrees. Spray a 9 x 13 metal pan with non-stick spray and set aside.
- In a small bowl, whisk together 2 cups + 2 tbsp flour, 1/2 tsp salt, and 1/2 tsp baking soda together.
- In a separate medium bowl, beat together 3/4 cup melted butter, 1 cup brown sugar, and 1/2 cup sugar until well combined. Add in 1 egg, 1 egg yolk, and 2 tsp vanilla and mix.
- Fold in dry ingredients. When half way combined, add in 1 cup chocolate chips and 1 cup Christmas M&M’s. Continue to fold until just combined.
- Press dough evenly into pan. Bake for 23 minutes.
- Right after removing from the oven, press additional chocolate chips and M&M’s gently into the top of the cookie bars.
