St. Patrick's Day Cookie Bars
An easy chocolate chip cookie bar made with festive green and yellow M&Ms to go along with a St. Patrick's Day theme!
Servings: 20 servings
Ingredients
- 2 C flour all purpose
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ½ tsp baking soda
- 10 T butter melted
- 1 C brown sugar
- ½ C sugar granulated
- 1 egg
- 1 C chocolate chips semi-sweet
- ¼ C mini m&ms green
- 16 yellow m&m's optional
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 325 and prepare a 12 ¼ x 8 ¼ baking pan with cooking spray. Set aside.
- In a small bowl, whisk together flour, salt and baking soda. Set aside.
- Using either a stand mixer or a hand mixer, mix together melted butter, brown sugar and granulated sugar. Add in egg and extract and mix again until smooth. Continue to mix, adding in the flour, a little at a time until combined well.
- Fold in chocolate chips and green m&ms.
- Press the mixture into prepared pan. If desired, press the yellow m&ms on to the surface of mixture.
- Bake 25-30 minutes until lightly browned at the edges(they may look not done but they are). I have found that 27 minutes works perfectly for my oven. Allow to cool before cutting and serving.
