Easter Cookie Bars
Prep time: 10 minutes
Cook time: 35 minutes
Total time: 45 minutes
Ingredients:
- 1 bag (17.5 oz) sugar cookie mix
- 1 bag (17.5 oz) chocolate chip cookie mix
- 2 large eggs
- 1 cup (2 sticks) salted butter (softened)
- 1 cup Easter M&M’s
Instructions:
- Preheat the oven to 325 degrees Fahrenheit. Prepare a 9×13 baking pan by spraying it with cooking spray or lining it with parchment paper.
- Add the dry sugar cookie mix and chocolate chip cookie mix into a large mixing bowl. Whisk together to combine.
- Add in the eggs and softened butter. Using a stand mixer with the paddle attachment or an electric hand mixer, beat for 2-3 minutes on medium speed (increase speed as needed) until a smooth cookie dough forms.
- Stir in 3/4 cup of the Easter M&M candies.
- Gently spread the cookie dough into the prepared pan and sprinkle the remaining 1/4 cup Easter M&M’s over top.
- Bake for 35-45 minutes or until a toothpick comes out with just crumbs on it (no wet batter) and the edges are set and golden brown. Note that the center should still be pale in color.
- Remove the bars from the oven and allow them to cool completely before cutting (1-2 hours).
