Loaded M&M Oreo Cookie Bars!

CAUTION: These cookies are addictive! PS if you're looking for a healthy cookie recipe I would maybe stop reading on...

Hey everyone! Today I wanted to share with you a great recipe perfect for back-to-school and the upcoming fall season! These taste amazing after a long day of school or studying and are also ideal for the fall with its warm, gooey flavors. Like I said above, these are obviously not the healthiest dessert you can have but sometimes we need a little splurge right? Pre-warning: These do not look like cookies when you are making them and the batter seems quite runny; however TRUST ME once the Oreos are added the batter thickens up and tastes just like a cookie! I would advise you to follow this recipe because if you make a normal cookie recipe + Oreos you're batter will be very thick and dry! Lastly, this recipe is taken from Pinterest, here are some images below of the original pictures!

 

Sound good? Recipe below!

Yields: one 8x8 pan; 9-12 generous squares

Prep time: 5 minutes; Cooking time: 20 minutes

Ingredients:

• 1/2 cup unsalted butter (113 grams)


• 1 egg


• 1 cup light brown sugar (packed)


• 1 tablespoon vanilla extract


• 1 cup all-purpose flour


• 18 oreo cookies: coarsely chopped


• 1/2 cup of M&m's

Directions:

1. Preheat oven to 350F (180C). Line an 8 x 8-inch baking pan with aluminum foil, spray with cooking spray; set aside.
2. In a large, microwave-safe bowl melt the butter, about 1 minute on high power.
3. Wait momentarily before adding the egg so you don't scramble it! Then, add the egg, brown sugar & vanilla and whisk until smooth.
4. Add the flour and stir until just combined-don't overmix.
5. Stir in the Oreos.
6. Pour batter into prepared pan, lightly smoothing over the top and sides with a spatula.
7. Evenly sprinkle the M&Ms over the top, slightly pressing them down with your finger or a fork.
8. Bake for 20 to 22 minutes, or until top is set and edges are slightly firm. A toothpick inserted in the center should come out clean, or with a few moist crumbs, but no batter. Allow bars to cool in pan for at least 30 minutes before serving.

Baking Tip! Take out your baked good a few minutes before you think it's done cooking. This will help prevent overcooking/drying out your treat because it still bakes on the pan AFTER it comes out of the oven!! Well, I hope you guys enjoyed this short and sweet post and let me now if you make these any time! Thank you so much for viewing Eat Sweat Style and stay tuned for a fashion post next week! 💛
