Mint and chocolate were meant to be together. Especially during the holidays. Today Iโ€™m sharing these double chocolate mint and chip cookie bars that are easy to make, and taste amazing!

Iโ€™m not one to do a lot of baking. I leave that up to my wife as sheโ€™s got way more patience for that than I do! If Iโ€™m doing any baking, Iโ€™m finding ways to cut corners like using premade kits, or finding a shortcut to getting them baked.

And thatโ€™s how I discovered cookie bars. Add your chocolate mint and chip cookie dough into a 13 x 9 glass baking dish and youโ€™ve cooked all your cookies in one batch and saved some time in the process!

Cookie bars are just plain fun, especially during the holidays I got festive and found some Christmas themed M&Ms that go perfect on top of the cookie bar.

Theyโ€™re super chocolatey and have that hint of mint that I absolutely love. IF youโ€™re a fan of chocolate and mint, then youโ€™re going to want to make these double mint and chocolate chip cookie bars!
