Create these simple, chewy Christmas cookie bars loaded with festive M&Ms and sprinkles for an easy, crowd-pleasing holiday dessert.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 1 cup packed light brown sugar
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 tablespoon vanilla extract
  • 2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup M&M’s Holiday Mix candies
  • 1/2 cup white chocolate chips
  • 1/2 cup festive Christmas sprinkles

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit. Line a 9×13 inch baking pan with parchment paper, leaving an overhang on the sides for easy removal.
  2. In a large bowl, cream together the softened butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until the mixture is light and fluffy.
  3. Beat in the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract.
  4. In a separate medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt.
  5. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing on low speed until just combined. Do not overmix the dough.
  6. Gently fold in the M&M’s, white chocolate chips, and festive sprinkles until they are evenly distributed throughout the dough.
  7. Press the cookie bar dough evenly into the prepared 9×13 inch pan.
  8. Bake for 22 to 25 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden and the center is set. For a chewier bar, slightly underbake.
  9. Let the bars cool completely in the pan on a wire rack before lifting them out using the parchment paper overhang.
  10. Once cool, slice the bars into squares.

Notes

  • For the chewiest texture, use light brown sugar and avoid overbaking.
  • You can chill the dough for 30 minutes before pressing it into the pan if you prefer slightly firmer bars.
  • These buttery Christmas bar recipes are excellent for make ahead Christmas treats.
