Easter Cookie Bars
Easter Cookie Bars are a fun sweet treat that's perfect for the holiday. Simple to make and loaded with pastel M&Ms, this cookie bar is soft, chewy and so flavorful!
Ingredients
- 1 (17.5 ounce) bag sugar cookie mix
- 1 (17.5 ounce) bag chocolate chip cookie mix
- 2 eggs
- 1 cup unsalted butter (softened to room temperature)
- 1 cup pastel colored M&Ms (divided)
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 325°F. Lightly grease a 9x13 baking pan with cooking spray or line with parchment paper. Set aside.
- In a large bowl, whisk sugar cookie mix and chocolate chip cookie mix until combined. Using a hand mixer, beat in eggs and softened butter until smooth, about 2-3 minutes.
- Fold in ¾ cup of M&Ms and then scoop the batter into the prepared baking pan. Gently spread the dough into an even layer and sprinkle the remaining ¼ cup M&Ms over the top.
- Bake for 39-44 minutes or until a toothpick comes out with just crumbs and the edges are fully set and golden brown. If the bars begin to get overly brown before they finish baking you can cover them with tented aluminum foil for the remainder of the baking time.
- Remove the bars from the oven and allow them to cool completely before cutting into squares and serving.
Notes
- Store bars in an airtight container or bag at room temperature for up to five days. Bars will keep for up to two weeks if stored in the refrigerator.
- Bars can be frozen if stored in a freezer safe container and wrapped with foil or plastic wrap.
