The M&M Chewy Cookie Bars

Prep Time: 10 minutes

Cook Time: 30 minutes

Ingredients

1. 2 cups + 2 tbsp all purpose flour
2. 1 1/4 cup sugar
3. 1 large egg
4. 1 egg yolk
5. 1 1/2 stick butter at room temperature
6. 2 tsp vanilla extract
7. 1 1/2 cup m&m of your choice (I used peanut butter M&M)
8. 1/2 tsp baking soda
9. 1/4 tsp salt

Instructions

1. Preheat oven to 325F. Adjust rack to middle position. Grease 9x13 pan with flour and butter and set aside.
2. In a bowl sift together flour, salt and baking soda.
3. In another bowl add egg, egg yolk, butter and sugar. With a hand mixer beat for 2 minutes. Using a rubber spatula scrape the sides frequently.
4. Mix 1/2 of dry ingredients into wet ingredients with a spatula. Once mixed properly, add and mix the other half dry ingredients.
5. Fold in 1 cup of M&M into the mixture. Do not over mix.
6. Put the batter in the greased pan and smooth the top. Sprinkle remaining M&M's on the top and press them down gently into the batter.
7. Bake for 25-30 minutes, until the top is slightly golden brown and the edges start to pull away from the sides of the pan.
8. Remove from oven and cool completely before cutting.
