M&M Cookie Bars
These M&M Cookie Bars are a simple, sweet treat made with butter, brown and white sugar, vanilla extract, and an egg. The dough is mixed with flour, baking soda, and salt before adding chocolate chips and M&M’s. After spreading the dough in a baking pan, the bars are baked until golden and topped with extra M&M’s. Cool before slicing into squares for a delicious, fun snack.
