Instructions
Start by preheating the oven to 325°F. In a large bowl, using a mixer, cream together the butter and sugars for 1 minute. Next, add the eggs and vanilla, and mix until well combined.
Combine flour, baking soda, and salt, stirring the mixture until just combined. Gently fold in the chocolate chips and M&M's, reserving about 1/3 cup for topping.
Prepare a 9x13" pan by lining it with parchment paper or foil, leaving an overhang for easy removal. Give it a light spray of non-stick spray. Evenly distribute the cookie dough into the pan and press it down firmly. Finally, adorn the top with additional M&M's and chocolate chips.
Bake for 32-36 minutes, or until the top is barely golden brown. Allow to cool completely, then remove and cut into bars.
