a sweet hello

what do you do if your daughter tells you

she forgot to mention that it is her turn to bring the cookies?

you reach for this recipe

it has saved us on many occasions

super easy

tastes amazing

5 ingredients

*

1- 1/2 cups butter

1- 1/2 cups brown sugar

2 teaspoons vanilla

3 cups flour

1 cup chocolate chips or m&m pieces - i always add more

{ i used red and pink m&ms for the ones above }

*

oven 350F

mix butter, brown sugar and vanilla

with an electric mixture

until completely combined

{ light and fluffy }
add flour

mix on low for a few minutes

stir in chips or m&ms

*

place dough on a standard size baking sheet

{ I always cover my baking sheet with parchment paper first }

press into an even layer covering the entire pan

bake for 20 to 25 mins

until golden brown

let cool for 5 mins

then cut into however many squares/cookies you need

don't let cool too much before cutting as they will crack

*

sometimes if I have an extra moment I will drizzle white or dark chocolate

over the baked bars before cutting

mine may look a little thicker than yours

these ones I baked in a smaller pan

I do like the thinner version
