Ingredients

Scale
  • For the Cookie Bars:
    • 1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter, melted
    • 1 cup light brown sugar, packed
    • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
    • 2 large eggs
    • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
    • 2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
    • 1 teaspoon baking soda
    • 1/2 teaspoon salt
    • 1 1/2 cups M&Ms (regular or mini)
    • 1/2 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips (optional)
  • For Decoration (Optional):
    • Extra M&Ms for sprinkling on top

Instructions

  • Make the Cookie Dough:
    • Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9x13-inch baking pan or line it with parchment paper.
    • In a large bowl, mix the melted butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until smooth and combined.
    • Beat in the eggs, one at a time, followed by the vanilla extract.
    • In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking soda, and salt.
    • Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, stirring until combined.
    • Gently fold in the M&Ms and chocolate chips (if using).
  • Bake the Cookie Bars:
    • Spread the dough evenly into the prepared baking pan.
    • Sprinkle additional M&Ms on top for decoration, if desired.
    • Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the edges are golden and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean or with a few moist crumbs.
    • Allow the bars to cool completely in the pan before slicing into squares.

Notes

  • You can substitute the M&Ms with other candies or mix-ins like white chocolate chips or peanut butter chips.
  • Store the cookie bars in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days.
  • These bars freeze well for up to 3 months. Thaw at room temperature before serving.
