Easy M&M Cookie Bars are soft, chewy, and so delicious! Loved by kids and adults, these are perfect for bake sales, potlucks, and holiday baking! Just like my brown butter M&M cookies, but so much easier!

Ingredients
- 1 cup butter unsalted, melted until browned, 227 grams
- 1 cup light brown sugar packed, 200 grams
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar 50 grams
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract pure
- 2 egg large eggs plus 1 large egg yolk, at room temperature
- 2 cups all-purpose flour 254 grams
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup M&M candies 6 ounces, plus more for top if desired
- sea salt flaky, optional
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees (F). Line an 9x9-inch baking pan with parchment paper or aluminum foil. Spray lightly with non-stick spray and set aside.
- In a saucepan over medium heat, melt the butter, then continue to cook it, stirring occasionally, until golden brown. Keep an eye here, you don't want burnt butter! Remove from heat and scrape the butter into a large heat proof mixing bowl.
- Whisk in both sugars and mix until well combined. Stir in the vanilla. Then add in the eggs and egg yolk, beating until combined.
- Using a rubber spatula, add in the flour, baking soda, and salt, mixing until just combined. Finally, fold in the M&Ms. Scrape the batter into the prepared pan.
- Bake for 32 to 35 minutes, or until the edges are firm and golden. Press extra M&Ms on top of the warm cookie bars, if desired.
- Cool in pan for at least 1 hour before cutting.
