•INGREDIENTS:
1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
1 cup light brown sugar, packed
1 large egg
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
1/4 teaspoon baking soda
1 cup red and green M&M’s
1/2 cup white chocolate chips
1/4 cup holiday sprinkles
•INSTRUCTIONS:
Preheat Oven:
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a 9×9-inch baking dish with parchment paper or lightly grease it.
Prepare Wet Ingredients:
In a large bowl, whisk together the melted butter and brown sugar until smooth. Add the egg and vanilla extract, whisking until combined.
Combine Dry Ingredients:
In another bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Slowly add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, stirring until just combined.
Add Mix-Ins:
Fold in the red and green M&M’s, white chocolate chips, and holiday sprinkles, ensuring they are evenly distributed in the batter.
Bake:
Spread the batter evenly in the prepared baking dish. Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean or with a few moist crumbs. Be careful not to overbake.
Cool and Serve:
Allow the cookie bars to cool completely before slicing into squares. Serve and enjoy!
