M&M Oreo Cookie Bars

 I made this colorful cookie bars for my son's birthday party in kindergarten. The original recipe of this cookie bars should be a little moist and chewy, but because I baked this 2 days in advance of his birthday party, I baked till it's crunchy in order to keep it longer. Well, I personally like the crunchy version more than the moist and chewy one. 

Ingredients:

1/2 cup Unsalted Butter (softened)

1 Large Egg

1 cup Brown Sugar

1 tbsp Vanilla Extract

1 cup All Purpose Flour

14 Oreo Cookies (I use blueberry ice cream oreo, with a little minty flavor)

1/2 cup Mini M&M
