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!

These would be great for dipping into hot chocolate.
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.
Congratulations on your website and recipes…
it’s beautiful.

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.
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!
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 so cute! I need to get those M&M’s!
THESE COOKIES make me so happy!
And glitter nails. Glitter makes it better.
These are so delish looking and adorable! The M&Ms and the cookie STICK format…too cute!
Soooo cute! Love this idea!
