Halloween Cookie Bars {My Go To Cookie Recipe}

These Halloween Cookie Bars come together easily using a biscuit baking mix. They're filled with oatmeal, butterscotch chips and are topped with candy corn and festive sprinkles. 

Let me share with you today one of my favorite cookie bars. I pretty much love just about any cookie, but by far these Halloween Cookie Bars are on the top of my list. They're super easy to make and utilize a biscuit mix instead of flour. 

Anytime my kids have a school party or need to carry a sweet treat somewhere this is always my go to recipe. I saw these over at southern plate a couple years back and have been making them ever since. I try and put a different spin on these when each holiday rolls around.

For Halloween we used butterscotch chips and candy corns, but if you're not a fan of candy corn just substitute with Holiday Themed M & M's or Reese's Pieces candies. One year I made some Valentine themed cookie bars for my daughters school and all the kids loved them. 

Next time I'm in Target I will try and remember to grab a couple bags of the new Candy Corn White Chocolate M & M's. I'm guessing those would make a mean cookie bar. Hopefully I can get some before they're all gone.

The best thing about this recipe is that everything is done in one bowl. Don't you just love those kinds of recipes? Start off by combining the first six ingredients in large mixing bowl. Mix until well blended. Add the butterscotch chips and mix to combine.

Pat into greased 8×8 pan and bake at 350 for twenty five to thirty minutes. Remove from oven. Sprinkle the top with candy corns. Return to oven, watching carefully, for two to three minutes, just to allow the candy corn to warm enough to stick. Watch carefully so candy corn doesn’t melt. Remove from oven, let cool and add sprinkles.

When completely cool cut into bars and enjoy!
