Description
Loaded M&M Oreo Cookie Holiday Bars are a festive dessert bar made with buttery cookie dough, crushed Oreo cookies, holiday M&Ms, and white chocolate chips for a soft, chewy, colorful treat that is perfect for Christmas parties, cookie exchanges, and easy holiday baking.
Ingredients
2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 cup unsalted butter, softened
1 cup brown sugar
1/2 cup granulated sugar
2 large eggs
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
18 Oreo cookies, roughly chopped
1 1/2 cups holiday M&M candies
1 cup white chocolate chips
Instructions
1. Preheat the oven to 350°F and line a 9×13-inch baking pan with parchment paper.
2. In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt.
3. In a large bowl, beat the softened butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until light and fluffy.
4. Add the eggs one at a time, then mix in the vanilla extract until smooth.
5. Gradually stir the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients just until combined.
6. Fold in most of the chopped Oreo cookies, holiday M&Ms, and white chocolate chips, reserving a small handful of each for the top.
7. Spread the dough evenly into the prepared pan.
8. Press the reserved Oreo pieces, M&Ms, and white chocolate chips over the top.
9. Bake for 25 to 30 minutes, until the edges are lightly golden and the center is set.
10. Cool completely in the pan before lifting out and slicing into 16 bars.
Notes
These bars are best when slightly underbaked in the center, because they continue to set as they cool.
For a prettier bakery-style finish, press extra Oreo chunks and M&Ms onto the top right before baking.
Use parchment paper with overhang on the sides so the bars lift out cleanly and slice neatly.
