Cookie Bars

Ingredients:

1 1/2 cups butter, softened

1 cup plus 2 Tablespoons regular sugar

1 cup plus 2 Tablespoons brown sugar

3 eggs

1/2 Tablespoon vanilla

3 1/3 cups flour

1/2 Tablespoon baking soda

1 teaspoon salt

3 cups chocolate chips

Optional: mix in M&M's

Directions:

Preheat oven to 375.

Beat butter and sugars until creamy and fluffy.  Add eggs, one at a time, and beat in-between.  Add vanilla, flour, salt, and baking soda.  Mix well.  

Gently mix in the chocolate chips and M&Ms.  

Spread batter into a 17x12 inch jelly roll cookie sheet.  Bake for 17-18 min, until golden brown.  Middle should still be slightly gooey, which is so yummy!  Cut and enjoy while warm.  Add vanilla ice cream to top it off!
