FIRST STEP: Line an 8x8 baking dish (with straight sides) with parchment paper. Spray the parchment paper with cooking spray. Set aside.

SECOND STEP: Cookie Dough: In a large mixing bowl add the butter and brown sugar. Beat with a hand mixer until light and fluffy. Add vanilla extract and continue to beat for an additional minute.

THIRD STEP: Add flour and sweetened condensed milk, alternating between the two while mixing on the low speed setting. Beat together until combined and a soft dough forms.

FOURTH STEP: Using a spatula fold in the chocolate chips and M&M's into the dough.

FIFTH STEP: Spread the dough out in an even layer in the 8x8 prepared baking dish.

SIXTH STEP: Put the bars in the freezer for 30 minutes while making the chocolate topping.

SEVENTH STEP: Topping: In a small mixing bowl add the butter and chocolate chips. Place the bowl in the microwave for 30 seconds. Remove and stir. Place back in the microwave and repeat steps until chocolate is melted and smooth.

EIGHTH STEP: Remove the bars from the freezer and pour the melted chocolate evenly over the top of the cookie dough. Sprinkle additional M&M’s over the top of the chocolate and gently press them down into the melted chocolate.

NINTH STEP: Place the cookie dough bars in the refrigerator and chill for 2-3 hours, or until ready to serve.

Cooking Tips

It’s very important to cook the flour before mixing it into the recipe. Flour should not be eaten raw, so spread it out on a large baking sheet and bake at 350°F for 5 minutes to kill any bacteria.

You can use refrigerated cookie dough to make these if you prefer, but make sure to look for the “Safe to Eat Raw” labels. Pillsbury has refrigerated cookie dough that you can eat raw because the flour is cooked and the eggs are pasteurized. If you are using dry cookie dough mixtures, be sure to cook the flour for at least 5 minutes before mixing in the wet ingredients. Remove any chocolate chips though so they don’t melt when cooking the flour.

Turn this recipe into a holiday treat by adding green and red M&M’s for Christmas. If you can find red, white, and blue M&M’s, serve this up for 4th of July. Even pastel M&M’s would be a perfect Easter treat!
