Ingredients
  

  • 1 cup unsalted butter 2 sticks, melted can use Dairy Free
  • 1/2 brown sugar
  • 1/2 granulated sugar

Instructions
 

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit.  Line a 9x13 baking dish with parchment paper.
  • Melt butter in a suacepan, or in a oven safe bowl
  • In a large mixing bowl, add the melted butter, brown sugar, granulated sugar, vanilla extract, and eggs and whisk to combine.
  • Add the baking soda, flour, salt, and the M&Ms (making sure to reserve a few for the top!) And stir well to combine into a dough.

  • Remove from the oven, and allow cookie bars to cool for at least an hour before eating.

Notes

Dietary Modifications

  • To make these cookie bars gluten free, just make sure to use a gluten-free flour or baking mix.  Also make sure the chocolate candies do not contain gluten.
  • To make these vegan, use a plant-based butter and egg substitute.  I like to use a flax egg (1 tablespoon flax seed meal mixed with 1 tablespoon water) or apple sauce instead of the egg.
