It’s the end of the school year and I wanted to make a tray of goodies for the ladies in the front office at our elementary school. I’ve had this recipe in my “to try” file for more years than I care to mention. I figured this goodie tray was the perfect opportunity to finally try it. I’m making them again this weekend for a Memorial Day potluck party in our neighborhood. They take no time at all to make and I know the kids will love them.

While these have more of a brownie texture, the are like a chocolate chip muffin cookie. You can use any type of chocolate chip you like in this recipe. I only had half a cup of semi-sweet chips so I used half a cup of milk chocolate chips. Any combination would be nice or use one type of chip. Butterscotch chips would be a nice change. Since the recipe only makes twelve you could double it for a larger group and make different variations. If you like nuts, add 3/4 cup of either walnuts or pecans.

Double chocolate blondes are a fun treat. Great to use as a base for a sundae too!

Another serving idea would be a dollop of vanilla ice cream topped with chocolate syrup (or fudge), nuts, and sprinkles. A mini cookie sundae.

I always like to make an Easter treat for my family. This year we will be celebrating the holiday with family so I wanted to try a recipe to take for dessert that would be kid friendly. I thought, M&M’s are kid friendly and this cookie bar looked great. I found this recipe on the Averie Cooks website and made it as a test for a recent playdate. The kids, and Moms, LOVED them. One Mom said they look and taste like Easter. There wasn’t a morsel left on the plate, the kids (and Moms) devoured them! A tell tale sign of how good they are.

These bar cookies are chock full of chocolate making them a perfect treat or dessert for Easter. Make this recipe even more decadent by using the cookie bar as a base for a sundae. Place a slice on a plate or in a bowl, top with your favorite flavor ice cream and add toppings. Toppings could include whipped cream, caramel sauce, chocolate sauce, various candies including chocolate chips and M&M’s of course. The week 4 recipe in the 52 week new recipe challenge is this fun and delicious cookie bar.

Easter M&M Chocolate Chip Cookie Bars

Prep Time: 10 minutes

Cook Time: 25 minutes

Total Time: 35 minutes

Yield: 9 - 12 bars, depending on size you cut.

Ingredients

  • 1 stick butter, melted
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 cup light brown sugar, packed
  • 1 tablespoon vanilla extract
  • 1 cup flour
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup Easter M & M's - I used milk chocolate
  • 1/2 cup semi-sweet chocolate chip

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Line an 8 x 8-inch baking pan with aluminum foil and spray with cooking spray. Set aside.
  2. In a small saucepan, melt butter and allow to cool briefly.
  3. In a medium bowl place the egg, brown sugar, and vanilla. Drizzle melted butter and whisk until smooth.
  4. Add the flour and salt and stir until just combined.
  5. Stir in the chocolate chips and M&M's.
  6. Place the batter into prepared pan and spread to edges, smoothing the top with a spatula.
  7. Bake at 350 degrees F. for 25 to 30 minutes or until done. When a toothpick inserted in center has crumbs, they are done. Allow bars to cool at least 1 hour in pan before removing and cutting. Bars will firm up upon cooling.

Notes

Cutting bars smaller will yield more.
