Description

Soft M&M Cookie Bars are chewy, colorful treats that combine the fun of M&M candies with classic cookie flavor. Perfect for any occasion!


Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 1 cup brown sugar, packed
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 1/2 cups M&M candies

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a 9×13 inch baking pan with parchment paper.
  2. In a bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.
  3. In a large mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until light and fluffy.
  4. Add eggs and vanilla extract to the butter mixture, mixing until combined.
  5. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, mixing just until combined. Fold in the M&M candies.
  6. Spread the cookie dough evenly in the prepared pan, smoothing the top. Optionally, sprinkle extra M&Ms on top.
  7. Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown and a toothpick comes out clean. Allow to cool for 10-15 minutes before lifting from the pan and cooling completely.

Notes

  • Don’t overmix the dough to avoid tough bars.
  • Chill the dough for 30 minutes for a softer texture.
  • Use room-temperature butter and eggs for a smoother batter.
