Cookies & Cream Blondie Bars

Hands down, these blondie bars are one of my favourite sweets to whip up! Not only are they beyond easy, the combinations are endless! Check at the notes below the recipe to see the combinations I've tried & loved! These bars are also super freezer friendly, so be sure to whip up a batch this weekend and save a bit for another time (that is if you don't eat them all 😂)

Cookies & Cream Blondie Bars

Ingredients

- 1/2 cup unsalted butter melted - 1 large egg - 1 cup light brown sugar, packed - 1 tablespoon vanilla extract - 1 cup all-purpose flour - about 18 Oreo Cookies, coarsely chopped ** - about 1/2 cup cookies & cream Hersey kisses, coarsely chopped**

Directions

1. Preheat oven to 350F. Line an 8-by-8-inch baking pan with aluminum foil, spray with cooking spray; set aside.

2. In a large, microwave-safe bowl melt the butter, about 1 minute on high power.

3. Wait momentarily before adding the egg so you don’t scramble it. Add the egg, brown sugar, vanilla, and whisk until smooth.

4. Add the flour and stir until just combined, don’t overmix.

5. Stir in the Oreos.

6. Turn batter out into prepared pan, smoothing the top lightly with a spatula.

7. Evenly sprinkle the M&Ms over the top, lightly pressing them down with your finger or a spatula.

8. Bake for about 20 to 22 minutes, or until done based on add-ins used. Top should be set and edges slightly firm.

**This recipe is SO versatile, so feel free to try any kind of add-ins! I've used regular oreo cookies and pb cups, chocolate chip cookies, coconut and rolo candies...anything goes!
