Easy Monster Cookie Bars
Everyone's favorite cookie baked into bars instead!
Ingredients
- 1 cup creamy peanut butter
- ½ cup unsalted butter, at room temperature
- 1 cup lightly packed light brown sugar
- ½ cup granulated white sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 1 large egg yolk
- 1½ teaspoons vanilla extract
- 1½ cups old-fashioned rolled oats
- 1 cup all purpose flour
- ½ teaspoon baking soda
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ½ cup semi sweet chocolate chips
- ½ cup M&M's candy (more to sprinkle on top)
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350℉. Generously grease a 9x9-inch pan with nonstick spray.
- Use a handheld electric mixer to cream together peanut butter and butter in a large bowl. Beat in the brown sugar, granulated sugar, eggs, egg yolk, and vanilla extract.
- Add the oats, flour, baking soda, and salt, and stir to combine. Stir in the chocolate chips and M&M's candy.
- Transfer the dough to the prepared pan and spread it out evenly. Sprinkle a few more M&M’s on top.
- Bake until the bars are golden, puffed and set- about 30 minutes. They will be more set on the outside than the inside, and will set more as they cool. Like brownies, be careful not to over-bake.
- Cool slightly before cutting and serving.
