Ingredients

  • 12 tablespoons unsalted butter melted
  • 1 ½ cups light brown sugar packed
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
  • 2 eggs
  • 1 ½ cups all purpose flour

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Line a 9 inch square pan with parchment paper, leaving an overhang on each side.
  2. Coat the parchment lined baking pan with cooking spray.
  3. Place the butter and brown sugar in a large bowl and whisk until combined. Whisk in the eggs and vanilla extract until the mixture is smooth.
  4. Add the flour, baking powder and salt to the bowl. Stir gently until just combined.
  5. Fold 1 cup of M&M candies, the chocolate chips and 4 tablespoons Christmas sprinkles into the dough.
  6. Spread the dough in an even layer in the prepared pan. Press the remaining 1/2 cup of M&M's and 2 tablespoons of sprinkles into the top of the dough.
  7. Bake for 20-25 minutes or until cookie bars are light golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with just a few crumbs attached.
  8. Let the bars cool. Use the parchment overhang to remove the slab of cookie from the pan and cut into squares. Serve.

Notes

  • You can use any color M&M's and sprinkles to customize these bars for all different holidays during the year.
  • Store leftover cookie bars in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days.
