  • Total Time: 55 minutes
  • Yield: 12 servings

Ingredients

Wet Ingredients

  • 2 cups unsalted sweet cream butter (melted)
  • 2 1/2 cups sugar
  • 1 cup brown sugar (packed)
  • 4 eggs
  • 2 egg yolks
  • 4 teaspoons vanilla extract

Dry Ingredients

  • 5 cups flour
  • 4 teaspoons cornstarch
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 2 teaspoons salt

Add-ins

  • 2 cups chocolate chips (divided)
  • 2 cups Mint M&M’s (divided)
  • 24 Mint Oreo cookies (chopped, divided)

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit to ensure it reaches the correct temperature for baking the cookie bars evenly.
  2. Cream Butter and Sugars: Using a stand mixer, combine the melted butter with both the granulated sugar and brown sugar until the mixture is smooth and well blended.
  3. Add Eggs: Incorporate the eggs and egg yolks one at a time into the creamed butter-sugar mixture, mixing well after each addition to maintain a smooth batter.
  4. Mix in Vanilla: Add the vanilla extract to the mixture and stir until fully incorporated to enhance the flavor.
  5. Combine Dry Ingredients: In a separate medium bowl, whisk together the flour, cornstarch, baking powder, and salt to ensure even distribution of leavening and moisture absorbers.
  6. Mix Dry into Wet: Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, stirring continuously until you form a consistent and fully combined cookie dough.
  7. Add Chocolate Chips, M&M’s, and Oreos: Fold in 1 ½ cups of chocolate chips, 1 ½ cups of Mint M&M’s, and half of the chopped Mint Oreos evenly throughout the cookie dough.
  8. Spread and Top Batter: Spread the prepared batter evenly into a baking dish. Then, sprinkle the remaining ½ cup chocolate chips, ½ cup Mint M&M’s, and the rest of the chopped Oreos on top to create a colorful and crunchy topping.
  9. Bake: Place the baking dish in the preheated oven and bake for 40 minutes or until the edges are just beginning to turn golden brown, indicating the bars are set and cooked through.
  10. Cool and Serve: Allow the cookie bars to cool completely before cutting into 12 servings for the best texture and flavor enjoyment.

Notes

  • Use unsalted butter to control salt levels in the cookie bars precisely.
  • Allow the bars to cool fully to prevent them from falling apart when cutting.
  • For a sturdier slice, refrigerate the bars for 30 minutes before cutting.
  • You can substitute regular M&M’s and Oreos if Mint varieties are unavailable, adjusting flavor profile accordingly.
  • Store leftover bars in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days or freeze for longer storage.
