No rolling or chilling the dough or baking several batches–just press everything into a 9×13 pan and bake! They feed a crowd and everyone always raves about them! What’s not to love about super soft, chewy, cookie bars loaded with M&M candies?

To freeze: allow baked bars to cool completely after cooking and cut them into squares.  Place squares into a freezer safe bag or container and freeze for up to 3 months. Cookie dough can also be frozen for up to 3 months.
