Cook Mode

Note, these instructions are written assuming the standard serving size, since you have modified the number of servings, these steps may need to be modified for best results

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F, and line an 8x8 baking dish with parchment paper.
In a large bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, and sea salt.
In a separate bowl, stir together butter, sugar, egg, and vanilla extract.
Add wet ingredients to dry ingredients and stir until just combined.
Fold in chopped candy.
Transfer to the prepared baking pan then flatten the dough on the pan with a spatula or your hand. Bake for 23-28 minutes until the edges are golden and the center is still slightly soft.
Cool for 10 minutes then remove from the pan.
Once cooled completely, cut into squares, sprinkle with sea salt, and enjoy!

Notes

I recommend chocolate, peanut butter, toffee, and/or caramel-based candy bars. Hard candy like lollipops will be too hard, and gummies will melt too fast. However, popcorn and pretzels add a delicious crunch to the cookie bars so I recommend adding those.
