Tips for Success
This is an extremely easy cookie bar recipe that is a family favorite. They are easy to make and everyone loves them. Plus they are great for all occasions. Here are a few tips from me to you:
Butter: You can use salted or unsalted, although I prefer salted. Reserve a few extra M&Ms and chocolate chips to press into the top of the dough. This makes these cookie bars look extra pretty and professional!Don’t over-bake! You want the bars to be baked all the way through, but not too done. It’s a balance between gooey and raw! The center should bet set but not completely puffed up. This way you will have chewy edges, and gooey centers to satisfy all the cookie lovers in your life!
How to Cut Cookie Bars
This might seem like a no brainer, but I’ve got a few tips to achieving the prettiest cookie bar. Patience is key!
How To Store or Freeze Cookie Bars
Storing these bars is simple: Place them in an airtight container or zip-top bag for up to 3 days (for best freshness) at room temperature! These bars freeze very well! You can freeze them cut or uncut. Either way allow them to cool completely, then wrap them airtight and place in the freezer for up to 30 days. Allow the bars to thaw at room temperature.
