A Sweet Mix of Loves

We love oatmeal cookies. We love-love m&ms. And we love-love-love cookie butter. This Saturday we have decided to mix some of our favorite loves into ooey-gooey Monster Cookie Bars that we are sure to love-love-love-love! And we are certain our loves are gonna love them too! ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

Ingredients:

• ½ cup butter flavored Crisco
• 1 cup light brown sugar
• ½ cup Cookie Butter
• 1 egg white
• 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
• ¾ cup unbleached flour
• 1 teaspoon baking soda
• 1 teaspoon cornstarch
• ¼ teaspoon baking powder
• ¼ teaspoon salt
• 1½ cups old-fashioned oats
• 1 cup semisweet chocolate chunks
• 1 cup red M&M’s + additional for top of bars
• 1/2 cup Heath Bits

DIRECTIONS:

1. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Line a 9×13-inch pan with parchment paper so that it hangs over two sides.
2. In a stand alone mixer cream together the butter, brown sugar, and peanut butter on medium speed until light and fluffy, about 3 minutes. Add the egg and vanilla, scraping down the sides of the bowl as needed.

1. Add the flour, baking soda, cornstarch, baking powder and salt to wet ingredients until just combined. Using a rubber spatula, stir in the oats, chocolate chunks, Heath, and M&M’s by hand.

Turn the dough out into the prepared baking sheet and press/spread into an even layer. Press additional M&M’s onto the top of the dough. Bake for 15 to 17 minutes, until the edges are set and lightly browned and the top still looks slightly undercooked. Remove from the oven and cool completely before cutting into bars.
