Directions for making this M&M Sugar Cookie Bars Recipe
Begin by preheating your oven to 350 and by greasing a 9x13 baking pan with nonstick cooking spray and setting it aside.
In a large mixing bowl, add your cookie mix, the butter, the egg and the vanilla. Mix these ingredients well until a dough forms.
Next, stir in ½ cup of the candies and the white chocolate chips. Make sure to stir it gently so that the candies don't break apart. The finished product is so much more appealing when they candies are all still intact!
Mix it well until the candies and white chocolate chips are evenly distributed. Press the dough into the bottom of your prepared pan. Sprinkle the remaining candies on top and gently press them into the dough. You can even make a little design or pattern if you like, just keep in mind that you'll be cutting the finished cookie into bars, so keep portions in mind.
Bake your cookie dough for 20-24 minutes or until lightly golden brown. Let it cool completely before cutting it into 24 bars, otherwise you may have a hard time getting nice, clean edges when you cut it. Warm cookies tend to fall apart.
This Easy Valentine Cookie Bars Recipe makes 24 bars. Of course, you CAN cut it into bigger bars, but it's so rich that bite sized portions are the best way to go!
