M&M Cookie Dough Bar Recipe

If you’ve followed any of my recipes before, you’d know they are usually very very simple, because my skills in the kitchen don’t really go beyond shoving everything in a bowl and putting it in the oven. That being said, as simple as these recipes might be, they always turn out delicious so who needs a crazy complicated recipe anyway?!

These M&M cookie dough bars were an instant winner when I first made them so it’s definitely a recipe I’ll be trying again. They’re soft, slightly gooey, not quite a cookie but not quite cake, the perfect in between.

Ingredients:

115g cup unsalted butter, melted (I used Stork)

1 large egg

175g light brown sugar

150g plain flour

1 sharing bag of M&Ms

A small bag of chocolate chips

Instructions:

Preheat oven to 180°C. Line a baking tin with tinfoil or baking paper

In a large bowl melt the butter, for about 1 minute on high power, or melt in a saucepan on the heat

Leave it to cool slightly before adding the egg otherwise it will scramble it. Add the egg and brown sugar and whisk until smooth

Add the flour and stir until combined but don't overmix

Stir in ¾ of the M&M'S and chocolate chips

Pour the batter out into tin, smoothing the top with a spatula

Evenly sprinkle the rest of the M&M'S and chocolate chips over the top

Bake for about 25 to 28 minutes (I baked 26 minutes), or until done. Insert a cake tester or knife and if it comes out clean with no batter (as with a cake), the bars are done. The bars will firm up as they cool down so don’t worry if they’re soft when they come out of the oven

Writing this now is making me crave these! Let me know if you give them a go yourself!
