Patriotic M&M’s Cookie Bars
Patriotic M&M’s Cookie Bars are the perfect quick and easy treat to serve at all your Memorial Day, 4th of July or any patriotic holiday celebration.
Servings 12 bars
Ingredients
- 1 cup butter- softened to room temperature 2 sticks
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1 cup light brown sugar firmly packed
- 3 large eggs
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 3 cups all-purpose flour
- ¾ tsp baking soda
- ¾ tsp salt
- 12 ounces white chocolate chips 1 bag
- ¾ cup patriotic M&M's
- ¼ cup patriotic sprinkles
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees.
- Line a 9×13 baking pan or casserole dish with parchment paper and then spray lightly with oil or cooking spray. Be sure to leave a little hanging over to make removal easy.
- Combine butter, granulated sugar and brown sugar in a large mixing bowl and beat together until fluffy.
- Add the eggs and vanilla and then beat until just combined.
- Slowly stir in the flour, baking soda and salt, mixing until just combined.
- Fold in the white chocolate chips, M&M’s and sprinkles – reserving a small portion of each to add to the top.
- Spread the dough into the prepared pan. It’s pretty sticky, so I like to lightly wet my hands with water and press the dough into an even layer.
- Top with reserved white chocolate chips, M&M’s and sprinkles and then bake for 35-40 minutes, or until golden brown.
- Allow to cool to room temperature before removing from the pan and cutting.
