Ingredients & Equipment You’ll Need
- 1 cup of M&Ms
- 1 cup of Chocolate Chips
- 2 cups of Flour
- 1 cup of Butter
- 2 Eggs
- 1/2 cup of Sugar
You’ll need standard baking equipment: a bowl, mixer, baking dish, and measuring cups.
M&Ms bring an exciting burst of color to the cookie bars, which in tandem with the rich Chocolate Chips, elevates the overall appearance and taste of your cookies. The Eggs and Butter help bind all the ingredients together, providing those layers of heavenly goodness, while the Sugar adds the perfect touch of sweetness. I prefer using all-purpose Flour for its consistency, but one could also substitute with whole wheat flour. But remember, the taste might slightly differ.
