Christmas Cookie Bars are soft and gooey spiced cookie bars with white chocolate buttons and Christmas themed M&Ms.
I know it’s still November. Don’t kill me for bringing you Christmas treats early this year! I was saving this recipe for December but it was just too good not to share and on the plus side, you can make these for the family that turns up early for Christmas or for school/work break ups.
Christmas themed foods are all through the supermarkets already and so are the Christmas M&Ms. Upon seeing this I knew I had to make special Christmas Cookie Bars because you know we love cookie bars here!
These cookie bars are extra special. Not only are they super ooey gooey and have Christmas M&Ms but they also have cinnamon added for a more festive flavour. The cinnamon isn’t overwhelming in flavour but boy does it change these Christmas cookie bars from good to freaking awesome!
I seriously may had a touch of cinnamon to all my cookie bars from now on. Its that good!
The addition of the white chocolate buttons is of course optional, I just love the white with the red and green and the addition of more chocolate is never a bad idea.
If you don’t want these cookie bars Christmas themed you could replace the Christmas M&Ms with regular M&Ms but definitely keep the cinnamon. Trust me on this!
