M&M Christmas Cookie Bars

Prep: Spray a 9×13" pan with cooking spray.

Make the batter: Mix butter and brown sugar using a stand or a hand mixer until fluffy and smooth.

Next: Add in the eggs and vanilla and mix until smooth. Add in salt, baking powder and mix.

Then add in the flour, 1 cup at a time, mixing in between. Stir in M&Ms. The batter will be thick! This is normal.

Spread the cookie dough evenly into the baking dish.

Tip! If you find this hard with the batter being so thick, I either wet my hands and use my hand top press down the batter. Or use a spatula sprayed with nonstick spray to make it easier.

Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until golden brown on top.

Wait to slice: Let the cookie bars cool in the pan for 15-20 minutes before cutting.

Store in an airtight container with a slice of bread to keep the bars fresh and soft 3-4 days.
