Recipe below contains my modifications.

Ingredients:

3/4 c. (1 1/2 sticks) butter, softened

1 c. sugar

1/2 c. brown sugar (packed)

2 tsp. vanilla extract

2 large eggs

240g (2 c.) all-purpose flour

3/4 tsp. baking powder

1/2 tsp. kosher salt

8 Oreos, crushed

1/2 c. holiday M&M's (plus more for topping)

1/2 c. semisweet chocolate morsels (plus more for topping)

Directions:

1. Heat oven to 350°F. Grease a 9" x 9" baking pan, set aside.

2. In the bowl of a stand mixer, cream together the butter, sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy.

3. Mix in the vanilla extract and eggs until well combined.

4. In a bowl, stir together the flour, baking powder, and kosher salt. With mixer on low speed, gradually add/mix this flour mixture.

5. By hand, fold/stir in the crushed Oreos, M&M's, and chocolate chips.

6. Spread mixture as evenly as possible into prepared baking pan. Top with extra M&M's and chocolate chips, if desired.

7. Bake for 25-35 min (mine took 35), until golden at edges and mostly set (it can have a very slight jiggle). Remove from oven and let cool completely before cutting into squares. Enjoy!
