Easter Egg Cake Mix Cookie Bars

Homemade chocolate chip cookies are one of my favorite desserts, but if I don’t have the time or desire to roll out cookie dough, I turn to making chocolate cookie bars instead. Cookie bars are a great alternative because they are quicker and easier to make than regular cookies and they taste just as good!

This recipe uses a cake mix, making it even more simple to put together and with the addition of the Easter Egg M&Ms they become something really special that you can serve to brighten just about anyone’s day. This recipe is even simple enough for small children to help make. I know you and your loved ones will enjoy this recipe. Happy Baking Friends!

Lightly press the candy into the top of the cookie bars, then allow them to cool completely.

When the cookie bars are cool, cut into 15 pieces to serve.
