Easter M&M Cookie Bars

These Easter MM Cookie Bars combine a buttery cookie base with colorful mini M&M candies, creating a festive and delicious treat perfect for spring celebrations.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 1 cup brown sugar, packed
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 2 large eggs
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
  • 2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup mini M&M candies

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a 9×13 inch baking pan with parchment paper, leaving an overhang for easy removal.
  2. In a large bowl, cream together the softened butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until light and fluffy.
  3. Beat in the eggs one at a time, then stir in the vanilla extract.
  4. In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt.
  5. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined.
  6. Fold in half of the mini M&M candies evenly into the dough.
  7. Press the dough evenly into the prepared baking pan.
  8. Sprinkle the remaining mini M&M candies on top and gently press them into the dough.
  9. Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
  10. Allow the bars to cool completely in the pan before lifting them out using the parchment overhang. Cut into squares and serve.

Notes

For an extra festive touch, drizzle melted white chocolate over the cooled bars before cutting, or substitute seasonal candy pieces for the mini M&Ms.
