Coconut Oil Cookie Bars stuffed with Dark Chocolate Chips and Peanut Butter M&Ms!
Coconut Oil Cookie Bars with Dark Chocolate Chips & Peanut Butter M&Ms
Ingredients
- 2 ¼ cups flour
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 stick butter softened (I like to use salted)
- 1 cup coconut oil
- ¾ cup sugar
- ¾ cup packed brown sugar I used dark brown
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 eggs
- ½ cup dark chocolate chips
- ½ cup peanut butter M&Ms 1/4 cup to mix in the batter, 1/4 cup to press into the top
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350 degrees and set out a jelly roll pan (I use this one).
- In a medium bowl, add the flour, baking soda, and salt. Stir.
- In a large bowl (I used my stand mixer), add the butter, coconut oil, sugar, brown sugar, and vanilla. Beat until creamy.
- Add in the eggs, one at a time, beating well after each one.
- Gradually beat in the flour mixture - I do it in thirds.
- Stir in the chocolate chips and 1/4 cup of the peanut butter M&Ms.
- Spread the dough into the prepared jelly roll then press the remaining 1/4 cup of peanut butter M&Ms into the top.
- Bake for 20-25 minutes or until golden brown.
- While the bars were baking, I took the remaining dough and scooped out 12 cookies onto a baking sheet lined with a Silpat. Once the bars were done, I baked the cookies for about 10 minutes until the edges were golden brown.

I like the idea of bars instead of cookies.
Peanut butter M&Ms are my favorite. Definitely going to have to try my hand at these!
YUM! I love baking with coconut oil, but I’ve never tried it in cookies or bars. I’m going to have to!
