Chocolate Chip M&M Cookie Bars

THIS PAST THURSDAY WAS A SNOW DAY HERE IN NJ, SO WHAT BETTER WAY TO SPEND THE DAY THAN TO BAKE COOKIES (AND THEN GIVE THEM TO OTHER PEOPLE TO AVOID THE CALORIES!?) WHEN I CHECKED OUT WHAT WE HAD IN THE PANTRY (BECAUSE THERE WAS NO SHOT I WAS HEADING TO THE STORE), I SAW A BAG OF MINT HOLIDAY M&MS AND RANDOM HALF-FILLED BAGS OF CHOCOLATE CHIPS AND TRADER JOES CHOCOLATE CHUNKS. I FIGURED I COULD MAKE IT WORK WITH WHAT I HAD, SO I BAKED CHOCOLATE CHIP M&M COOKIE BARS!

IT'S SUPER EASY! I USED ALL PURPOSE FLOUR, A STICK OF BUTTER, VANILLA, LIGHT BROWN SUGAR, AN EGG, MINT M&MS, CHOCOLATE CHUNKS, AND NESTLE MILK CHOCOLATE CHIPS.

FIRST, MELT THE STICK OF BUTTER AND MIX IT WITH THE EGG, BROWN SUGAR, AND VANILLA. 

THEN, ADD THE FLOUR, M&MS, AND CHIPS. MIX IT ALL UP UNTIL IT'S COMBINED!

THERE'S JUST SOMETHING ABOUT COOKIE DOUGH ON A COLD, WINTER'S DAY...

THEN, I POPPED IT IN A SPRINGFORM PAN AND SPRINKLED ON A LITTLE EXTRA M&MS AND CHOCOLATE CHIPS.

THEN, IT WENT INTO A 350* OVEN FOR ABOUT A HALF AN HOUR.
