Ingredients
Scale
- 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 (divided)
Instructions
- Step 1: Preheat the oven to 325° F. Prepare a 9×13 baking pan by spraying with cooking spray or lining with parchment paper. * I use pre-cut parchment paper sheets. I spray the bottom of the pan, lay the parchment paper sheet inside the baking pan (paper is vertically up & down, pan is sitting horizontal on the counter like rectangle shape). That way the cooking spray helps the parchment paper adhere to the pan and there is some overhang so you can grab the bars out and cut them nicely.
- Step 2: Add the dry sugar cookie mix and chocolate chip cookie mix into a large mixing bowl. Whisk together to combine.
- Step 3: 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. * I think it’s easiest to use a stand mixer so I whisk the dry cookie mixes in the stand mixer bowl, and then add the butter + sugar and let it beat.
- Step 4: Stir in 3/4 cup of the Easter M&M candies.
- Step 5: Gently spread the cookie dough into the prepared pan and sprinkle the remaining 1/4 cup Easter m&m’s over top.
- Step 6: 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. The center should still be pale in color.* It’s so important to not overbake these bars. Only the edges should be browned and set. As the bars cool in the warm pan they will set and cook slightly more. * If the bars are getting too browned towards the end of the bake time, simply cover them loosely with a tin foil tent.
- Step 7: Remove the cookie bars from the oven and allow them to cool completely before cutting into squares (1-2 hours).
