Ingredients

Wet Ingredients

  • 2 cups unsalted sweet cream butter, melted
  • 2 1/2 cups sugar
  • 1 cup brown sugar, packed
  • 4 eggs
  • 2 egg yolks
  • 4 teaspoons vanilla extract

Dry Ingredients

  • 5 cups all-purpose flour
  • 4 teaspoons cornstarch
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 2 teaspoons salt

Add-ins

  • 2 cups chocolate chips (divided)
  • 2 cups Mint M&M’s (divided)
  • 24 Mint Oreo cookies, chopped (divided)

Instructions

  1. Preheat the Oven: Set your oven to 350°F (175°C) to ensure it’s ready for baking the cookie bars.
  2. Cream Butter and Sugars: In a stand mixer, combine the melted butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until fully blended and smooth.
  3. Add Eggs: Incorporate the eggs and egg yolks one at a time into the butter and sugar mixture, mixing thoroughly after each addition to maintain a smooth texture.
  4. Mix in Vanilla: Stir in the vanilla extract to add flavor depth to your batter.
  5. Prepare Dry Ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, cornstarch, baking powder, and salt until evenly combined.
  6. Combine Wet and Dry: Gradually add the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients, gently mixing until the batter is fully combined with no streaks of flour.
  7. Add Chocolate Chips, M&M’s, and Oreos: Fold in 1 ½ cups of chocolate chips, 1 ½ cups of Mint M&M’s, and half of the chopped Mint Oreos evenly into the batter.
  8. Spread Batter in Pan: Evenly spread the cookie dough batter into a prepared baking dish, smoothing the top with a spatula.
  9. Top the Bars: Sprinkle the remaining chocolate chips, Mint M&M’s, and chopped Oreos on top of the spread batter to create a colorful, crunchy topping.
  10. Bake the Bars: Bake in the preheated oven for about 40 minutes or until the edges turn just golden brown, signaling the bars are done.
  11. Cool Before Serving: Allow the cookie bars to cool completely in the pan to set properly before cutting into 12 bars and serving.

Notes

  • Ensure the melted butter is slightly cooled before combining with sugar to avoid cooking the eggs when added.
  • For best results, use a metal or glass 9×13 inch baking dish for even baking.
  • Store leftover bars in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days.
  • You can substitute Mint M&M’s with regular M&M’s if mint flavor is not preferred.
