These could not be easier! I actually have made them without M&Ms, too, and then frost when cooled--either way! This is an easy way to make sugar cookie bars festive; just buy seasonal M&Ms for whatever you're celebrating! Recipe and photo from Betty Crocker!
1 pouch (17.5 oz) Betty Crocker™ sugar cookie mix
1/2 cup butter, softened
1egg
1 cup white vanilla baking chips
1 cup M&M's® chocolate candies
Steps:
1. Heat oven to 350°F. Spray bottom only of 13x9-inch pan with cooking spray. (I like using a 12x16 jelly roll pan so they are thinner, just depends on preference).
2. In large bowl, mix cookie mix, butter and egg with spoon until soft dough forms. Stir in white vanilla baking chips and 1/2 cup of the candies. Press dough in bottom of pan. Sprinkle remaining candies over top.
3. Bake 22 to 24 minutes or until edges are golden brown (center will look soft). Cool completely on cooling rack, about 1 hour. Cut into 6 rows by 4 rows. Store covered in airtight container.
