Hello my loves,
First recipe after having baby Will. Had to come in with a good one! These holiday m&m cookie bars are so good. Chewy, soft and buttery. These are bursting with yummy sugar cookie flavor and speckled with festive colors and lots of chocolate!
My family has always been huge cookie lovers. Every Christmas since I can remember we’ve had at least 10 different types of cookies/treats to munch on. They would all be on the buffet in my grandparents dining room or on the kitchen counter at my aunts house. There was never any judgement for how many cookies someone ate over the course of our holiday together. In fact, if you didn’t have an opinion about each different cookie, you were basically force fed to get your reaction to a new recipe. lol So, all that being said, I love cookies. Now let’s get to the recipe!
