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!
