Print Recipe Pin RecipeIngredients
- 1/2 cup salted butter (room temperature)
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1/4 cup brown sugar
- 1 egg
- 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 1/2 cups flour
- 1/2 tsp baking soda
- 8 mint Oreos crushed
- 1/4 cup M&M's or chocolate chips (I used green M&M's to make these bars festive for St. Patrick's Day!)
Instructions
At Home Instructions:
- Whisk together the softened butter and sugar, then add in the egg. Whisk for a couple of minutes until the mixture is creamy and lighter in color. Mix in the vanilla extract.
- In a separate bowl, mix the flour and baking soda, then add it into the wet ingredients and mix until the dough forms.
- Lastly, fold in the crushed cookies and m&m's. Roll the dough in plastic wrap and store it in the cooler until you're ready to bake at camp. Cookie dough can be made up to 2 days in advance of when you plan to bake it.
At Camp Instructions:
- Heat your briquettes in a chimney starter.
- Line a 10-inch dutch oven with parchment paper and press the cookie dough evenly inside.
- Cover with the lid and bake at 350°F for 14-16 minutes in the dutch oven. Do not overbake these cookies or they become dry.
- Once done, remove the heat from the dutch oven, open the lid, and let the cookie cool for at least 15 minutes before slicing it into bars. Enjoy!
Notes
The bars will continue to cook even after you remove the heat because the cast iron will stay hot for a while after, so when in doubt, bake for the lower end of the time range.
