Ingredients
- 1 cup (227 g) Unsalted butter room temperature
- ¾ cup (100 g) Brown sugar
- ¾ cup (110 g) White sugar
- 2 large Egg large
- 3 cups (375 g) All-purpose flour
- 1 tsp Baking soda
- ¼ tsp Baking powder
- ½ tsp Salt
- 2 tsp Vanilla extract
- 2 cup (400 g) M&M candy Save some for the top.
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°F / 177°C / Gas Mark 4. Line a 9 x 9-inch square cake pan with parchment paper making sure to leave an overhang so you can pick the baked bar out easily. Pro tip - You can also use a baking dish and line it with foil.
- Dry ingredients - In a medium mixing bowl, combine flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt – Set aside.
- Wet ingredients - In the bowl of a stand mixer, with the paddle attachment, cream butter and both white sugar and brown sugar until almost light and fluffy. Pro tip - It is important to cream until the sugar has almost dissolved. Otherwise, the cookie bars will not be soft.
- Next, add the eggs, one at a time, followed by the vanilla extract and flour mixture. Pro tip - Once you add the flour, do not over mix as we do not want to activate the gluten in our flour.
- Finally, add the M&M candy and stir or fold gently to combine with a spatula to prevent them from breaking. Pro tip - This cookie dough can be kept in the refrigerator for up to 3 days or frozen for up to a month in freezer bags.
- Pour the batter into the prepared baking pan and spread it evenly. Sprinkle additional M&Ms on top of the dough.
- Bake in a preheated oven for 20 to 25 minutes or until the edges start to get golden brown.
- Remove and let cool in the pan for 10 minutes. While still warm, cut into 16 squares as shown in the video. Pro tip - You can sprinkle a teaspoon salt on top of the baked bars too.
- Enjoy!
