I am so glad you found this recipe. These chewy Christmas cookie bars are packed with festive color from M&Ms and sprinkles, offering big holiday flavor without complicated steps. They are the perfect one-pan Christmas cookies for your parties or family gatherings.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 1 cup packed light brown sugar
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 tablespoon vanilla extract
  • 2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup holiday M&Ms (red and green)
  • 1 cup white chocolate chips
  • 1/2 cup Christmas sprinkles

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a 9×13 inch baking pan with parchment paper, leaving an overhang on the sides for easy removal.
  2. In a large bowl, beat the softened butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar together with an electric mixer until the mixture is creamy.
  3. Beat in the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract.
  4. In a separate medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt.
  5. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing on low speed until just combined. Do not overmix.
  6. Gently fold in the holiday M&Ms, white chocolate chips, and most of the Christmas sprinkles, reserving some sprinkles for the top.
  7. Press the dough evenly into the prepared baking pan. Sprinkle the reserved sprinkles over the top.
  8. Bake for 25 to 30 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden brown and the center is set. For chewy bars, slightly underbake.
  9. Let the bars cool completely in the pan on a wire rack before lifting them out using the parchment overhang.
  10. Once cool, slice the bars into squares and serve your crowd pleasing holiday bars.

Notes

  • For the chewiest texture, use light brown sugar instead of dark brown sugar.
  • If you do not have parchment paper, lightly grease and flour the pan well before pressing in the dough.
  • These bars store well in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 4 days.
