Ingredients
Scale
- 115 grams of unsalted butter, softened
- 150 grams of granulated sugar
- 50 grams of light brown sugar, packed
- 1 large egg
- 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract
- 200 grams of plain flour
- 1/2 teaspoon of baking powder
- 1/4 teaspoon of salt
- 200 grams of Christmas M&Ms, divided
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 180°C (160°C fan/Gas Mark 4). Grease and line an 8×8 inch (20×20 cm) square baking tin with baking parchment, leaving an overhang for easy removal.
- In a large bowl, cream together the softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy.
- Beat in the egg and vanilla extract until well combined.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
- Fold in 150g of the Christmas M&Ms, reserving the remaining 50g for topping.
- Press the cookie dough evenly into the prepared baking tin. Sprinkle the remaining 50g of M&Ms over the top, pressing them gently into the dough.
- Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown and the centre is just set. A toothpick inserted into the centre should come out with a few moist crumbs attached.
- Let the bars cool completely in the tin before lifting them out using the parchment paper overhang. Cut into squares and serve.
