Monster Cookie Bars
These monster cookie bars have all the peanut buttery, chocolatey, chewy goodness of the traditional cookie, only in super easy bar form.
Servings: 2 dozen bars
Ingredients
- ½ cup butter softened
- 1 cup brown sugar
- ½ cup peanut butter
- 2 eggs
- 1 tsp vanilla
- 1¾ cup all purpose flour
- 1 tsp baking soda
- 1¾ cup quick cooking oats
- ¾ cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 1 cup M&Ms
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350 F. Grease a 9 x 13 pan and set aside.
- In a large bowl, cream together butter and brown sugar. Beat in peanut butter, eggs and vanilla.
- In a separate bowl, stir together flour, and baking soda. Add to large bowl and stir until combined. Add oats, chocolate chips and M&Ms.
- Press into greased pan. Add additional M&Ms to the top, if desired, pressing them into the dough slightly.
- Bake for 14 - 16 minutes or until edges are slightly brown or until toothpick inserted comes out clean. Do not over bake. Let cool a bit before slicing. Letting them cool completely is best. But its almost impossible to wait that long.
Notes
I use salted butter to make this recipe. If you prefer to use unsalted butter, you might want to add a pinch of salt to this recipe.
