Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a 9×13-inch baking pan with parchment paper.

  7. Spread the cookie dough evenly in the prepared baking pan.
  8. Bake for 25–30 minutes or until the edges are golden and a toothpick comes out clean.

  10. Once cooled, melt the remaining 2 cups of chocolate chips with 1 tbsp of oil in the microwave or over a double boiler.
  11. Spread melted chocolate over the cooled cookie bars.
  12. Immediately top with holiday sprinkles before the chocolate sets.
  13. Allow the chocolate to firm up (you can refrigerate for quicker setting), then cut into bars and serve.
