Loaded Sugar Cookie Bars

By srumbel

What I love most about these bars is that they are like soft, gooey, fluffy sugar cookies, but in bar form. And they are absolutely loaded with chunks of colorful chocolate and peanut buttery goodness.

Ingredients

• 1 package prepared dry sugar cookie mix (plus ingredients called for on the back of the package – for the Pillsbury mix I used, I had to add 1 stick butter + 1 egg) OR use 1 package pre-made refridgerated sugar cookie mix
• 1 cup peanut butter M&Ms
• 1/2 cup chocolate chips
• 1/2 cup mini peanut butter cups (OR 1/2 cup chopped Reese’s Peanut Butter Cups)

Preparation

Step 1

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Spray 8×8 baking pan with nonstick spray. Set aside.

In a large bowl, thoroughly mix together the called-for ingredients on the sugar cookie mix to make the dough. Once dough is prepared, mix in all of your mix-ins. Don’t be afraid to use your hands!

Press dough evenly into the prepared baking dish. Press any extra add-ins into the top of the bars.

Bake for 25 minutes or until edges are lightly browned. Make sure to cool COMPLETELY before cutting into squares. Enjoy!

*Feel free to use any add-ins you have on hand.Try white chocolate chips, butterscotch chips, nuts, chopped candy bars, sprinkles, Reese’s Pieces, etc.
