Equipment
- Parchment paper
- 9x11 Baking Dish
Ingredients
- 2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 1/2 teaspoons cornstarch
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/4 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup unsalted butter browned
- 1 cup brown sugar
- 1/2 cup white granulated sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 1 1/2 cups mini M&M’s
- 1/2 cup semisweet chocolate chips
Instructions
- To Prep: Preheat the oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit. Line a 9x11-inch baking dish with parchment paper.
- Sift together the flour, cornstarch, baking powder, baking soda, and salt in a large mixing bowl.
- In a separate bowl, add the slightly cooled browned butter, brown sugar and white sugar and whisk together until combined. Add the eggs and vanilla and whisk until smooth.
- Pour the wet ingredients into the bowl of dry ingredients and fold together with a rubber spatula. The cookie dough should be pretty thick.
- Fold the chocolate chips and mini M&M's into the dough until evenly distributed. Scoop the cookie dough into the prepared pan, spreading evenly.
- Bake for 24 minutes, or until the top starts to crumble. As soon as you remove the pan from the oven, carefully press extra M&Ms into the top of the cookie bars.

Notes
- I like my cookies and cookie bars to be soft-baked, but if you prefer a more cake-like texture you can increase the cooking time for a couple minutes. Be sure to keep an eye on them as they bake so the bars don't cook too much.
