Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter, softened
  • ¾ cup granulated sugar
  • ¾ cup packed light brown sugar
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 2 ¼ cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 2 cups Christmas M&Ms, divided

Instructions

  • Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9×13 inch baking pan and line it with parchment paper, leaving an overhang on the sides.
  • In a large bowl, cream together the softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy.
  • Beat in the eggs one at a time, then stir in the vanilla extract.
  • In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking soda, and salt.
  • Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined.
  • Stir in 1 ½ cups of the Christmas M&Ms. Reserve the remaining ½ cup for topping the bars before baking.
  • Press the dough evenly into the prepared baking pan.
  • Sprinkle the remaining ½ cup of M&Ms evenly over the top of the dough. Gently press them into the dough.
  • Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with moist crumbs attached.
  • Let the bars cool completely in the pan before lifting them out using the parchment paper overhang. Cut into squares and serve.
