What makes you happy these days?
It’s Spring today, which makes me happy, even though it comes hand in hand with allergy season.
A good manicure makes me pretty happy especially if glitter polish is involved.
A clean house (if even for a moment) makes me exponentially happy.
The Bachelor has finally ended which makes me all sorts of happy, but a little sad at the same time. But The Bachelorette will be starting soon, so….happy again!
Easter’s almost here which makes me happy because that means I can unabashedly decorate the house in pastel colors and not feel like I live inside an episode of The Golden Girls.
And of course cookies make me happy.
Of course.
And these Cookie Sticks make me even happier because I didn’t even have to use my mixer. Just a bowl and a spoon. Happy sigh.
How to Make These Easy Cookie Bars
Mix your wet ingredients together first. Yes, sugar is a wet ingredient, don’t ask.
Add your dry stuff and split it half…
Spread it out in two long rectangles on your lined baking sheet.
I found these yummies at the store last week…White Chocolate M&Ms.
I decided to give them a try here..
Press the M&Ms (or chocolate chips) on top before you bake.
Here’s the before and after…
Let them cool a bit and using a pizza cutter or knife cut into strips.
And that’s it…
Let them cool completely before eating, if you can wait!

It makes me happy that I could easily get away with eating 3 of these. Score!
These look so good!! Pretty cookies make me happy!
GREAT idea! I made some blondies with these white chocolate chips this weekend and loved them. I love the idea of cutting them into sticks!
so cute! i love this idea and i’m totally gonna go make cookie sticks. that will make me happy 🙂
These make me very happy. I’m loving the spring colors too! 😀
So cute! What a fun idea 🙂
Cookie sticks definitely make me smile! Can’t wait to make these this weekend!
I love the white chocolate chips and this idea is so fun and easy!
I’ve always wished that I celebrated Easter just so I could get an Easter basket full of candy… and now so I could make cookies with those pretty M&Ms!
Love the idea of cookie sticks because they are perfect for dunking in milk.
oh boy that is a great idea, so many possibilities!
Soooo cute! Love this idea!
These are so delish looking and adorable! The M&Ms and the cookie STICK format…too cute!
THESE COOKIES make me so happy!
And glitter nails. Glitter makes it better.
These are so cute! I need to get those M&M’s!
How cute are these?? And since they are “thin” sticks, I can eat three or four of them without having to worry about calories, yes? 🙂
These are totally adorable. At Christmas time I made some bark with M&M’s on top of the candy layer. I encountered two problems. 1) I couldn’t cut a straight line, because I had distributed the candy too densely and too randomly. 2) The M&M’s didn’t adhere to the candy.
Did you have either of these problems with these cookies? I was wondering what would happen if you sliced the cookie dough before baking and then stuffed the candies on it. Then you wouldn’t end up with cracked candy. But I still wonder if you had problems with them falling off.
Well I cut the cookies when they were still warm, so they cut easily, and they absolutely stuck to the cookie, maybe because they melted in a bit,If you sliced before baking I don’t think it would make too much of a difference because they would bake back together, if that makes sense.
Yep, it makes sense. Thanks!
These are PERFECT for spring! I actually picked up some of those white chocolate M&Ms a few weeks ago at Target (they sold out really fast). I was thinking about making rice krispie treats with them, but I might just have to make these as well. You can never have too much white chocolate, right? Right.
Congratulations on your website and recipes…
it’s beautiful.

I’m left wondering about the white chocolate M&M’s? Thumbs up or down? I haven’t tried them yet but think they’ve got to be good. They’re M&M’s after all….
They were good! Really sweet, though…plus they were a little bigger than regular M&Ms.
These would be great for dipping into hot chocolate.
Love the sticks and I need to find those M&M”s! So fun!
I really hope it doesn’t take five million years for my local grocery store to get those M&M’s in stock. They’re so slow on the candy trends!
If I use choc chips would I mix them in the dough or press in the top like the m&ms??
press them in the top, just like the M&Ms 🙂
This is what makes me happy. Very very happy!
I always thought sugar was a wet ingredient! I love that M&Ms keep coming up with new flavors..but especially love all the awesome recipes everyone is creating! Love these. 🙂
These are fab – I know my boys would clear a plate of these in no time at all…but they’d have to beat me there first! LOL
You have great recipes as well as wonderful presentations. Keep up the good work.
I will definitely give this a try! I´m just wondering if I can replace the canola oil with some other type of oil? I actually don´t know what it is and if we have it here in Sweden…
sure, you can easily sub in vegetable oil!
Then I will give them a try soon, thanks =)
I love the stick idea. That totally means you can eat more! The cute shape is fun and the kids can just grab one and go…..or two or three…
SO creative!! I am LOVING these! I pinned them and will DEFINITELY be making them with my easter color m&ms soon. 🙂
Can I replace the canola oil with butter?
I wouldn’t in this recipe…the butter would definitely bake differently than the oil and the butter would crisp these up a lot on the outside.
I always use all butter to make regular chocolate chip cookies, but these are a bit different 🙂
They are really creative and yummy 🙂
These festive cookie sticks make me very happy too!! Beautiful 🙂
What an awesome idea! These little cookie sticks would be great for a party, or for little kids. Love this idea!
My 9 year old daughter needed a cookie recipe for her Girl Scout project, and when I found this, I knew it would be perfect! It took her all of 10 minutes to make these completely by herself! Thanks for making my job easier 🙂
yay!! that makes me so happy 🙂
My daughter and I made these today! Delicious!
Another yummy reason to use M&M’s that makes me happy! thank you
You have a pretty good happy list going on…these cookies would make me happy too!
I made these Saturday because they looked so easy and pretty. They didn’t disappoint. I personally loved the white chocolate M&M’s. They were a nice change to just regular M&M’s. I shared them with our sweet elderly neighbors and they just loved them. My little ones adored them and were a nice surprise in their lunch boxes today. Sadly, they’re all gone now. Thanks for another fun, easy and delicious recipe!
I made these tonight with my daughter (who’s 6). They were so quick & easy…and fun! She loved mixing by hand and pressing in the candy. We used the M&M’s speckled eggs since we couldn’t find the white chocolate M&M’s. Delicious!
brought these to my daughter this past weekend (visiting her at college) – made with the white chocolate m&ms~ they were so easy and quick to make and oh sooo delicious, thanks for the recipe!
Hi these make my very very happy ,got my baking fixand only took 10 mins from start to putting in the oven and only one bowl to wash happy happy happy

Made these tonight. Perfect one bowl cleanup 15 minutes of work for a last minute snack! Loved them and they were so easy my 4 year old did most of it herself! Thanks for your site and the 5 pounds I have gained since finding it!
….And I thought I was done baking….I have to make these they look so cute and easy too!
Perfect plan for all those remaining Easter M&Ms I have lying around! 🙂
I posted this recipe today and they were SO delicious!!
can we use all white sugar….I want to send these to the soldiers but they say we cant use brown sugar??? 🙁
Well, I’ve never done it that way, but I bet you can…
i made these and loved them. instead of M&M’s i used sprinkles, lots of sprinkles.
I made these for a bake sale and they were gone in a flash! Thank you!
Oh these look good! I found your post on Pinterest, where I am a new follower.
Can I use whole wheat flour?
Sure! I usually sub in half whole wheat flour, though when baking with WWF! I’d love to hear how they turn out if you sub in all!
I made these the other day. They were super easy and yummy! Great recipe!
Hi! I love this recipe and just shared it on my blog:
