Oatmeal M&M Chocolate Chip Cookie Bars

Preheat oven to 350 degrees.  Slash a strip a parchment paper to in good shape the bottom of a 9×13 pan, but hang above 2 of the edges.  Spray pan with non-adhere spray and then put parchment in, pressing paper to spray to aid it adhere. (Alternately you could line with foil and evenly spray with cooking spray.)  Established apart.

Spot oats in your blender and pulse just a couple moments to hardly break up oats.  You really don’t want to develop oat flour! They really should nevertheless glance like oats, just damaged up a minor into more compact items. Set these aside.

Combine flour, baking soda, and salt in a bowl and evenly whisk to merge.  Established aside.

In a mixing bowl or stand mixer, melted butter, brown sugar, and white sugar.  Include eggs, a person at a time, stirring involving each and every addition, and vanilla.  Insert flour mixture in a few additions till incorporated.

Stir in oats and chocolate chips until finally just mixed.  *I like to just sprinkle my M&M’s on the leading of the dough, but if you have a significant bag, come to feel free of charge to toss a little handful into the dough, or substitute M&M’s for a portion of your chocolate chips.

Push dough into ready pan and press flat.  Sprinkle a handful of M&M’s on major and include sprinkles if you motivation.

Bake for about 25-30 minutes. Get rid of from oven when edges are golden brown and centre seems established, but nevertheless delicate. The centre should jiggle a bit when you transfer the pan.  They will be quite doughy in the center!  Unless of course you are serving marginally warm above ice cream, interesting wholly to place temperature.  Take note: It is absolutely regular for the centre to sink down lessen than the edges, once cooled! I assume these are finest when they’ve cooled for many hrs and I like to put them in the fridge to chill just before slicing, even.  They are terrific to make in advance!
