    Last night I had a dream about M&M cookie bars so I had to make them. They are so delicious, gooey, and the best combination of a brownie and an M&M cookie.

    Bake for about 30 minutes. You will know the bars are fully cooked when a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Let the cookie bars cool completely before removing them from the pan.
