M&M cookie bars

These M&M cookie bars are all over the place, on blogs, on recipe sites, everywhere. I figured if so many people were making them, they must be good. Here is the recipe for them as seen on novice-baker.blogspot.com. This recipe is lots of places, but this the one I used.

Also I did change on thing, to make them a little more special, I used peanut butter M&M's.



2 3/4 cups all-purpose flour
2 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
2/3 cup butter, melted
2 1/4 cups brown sugar
3 large eggs
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
2 cups M&M's

Preheat the oven to 350.

Lightly spray a 10 X 15" jelly roll pan with non-stick spray. In a large bowl, combine the flour, baking powder, and salt.In another large bowl, combine the melted butter and brown sugar, stirring until evenly distributed. Allow to cool slightly. Add the eggs, one at a time, beating very well after each one. Mix in vanilla extract. Stir in the flour mixture and when combined add in the M&M's. Spread the batter into the prepared pan.Bake for 24-26 minutes, until they are shiny and golden brown on top. Try not to overbake these or they will be dry. A cake tester will most likely not come out clean. Remove from the oven and cool completely before cutting.
