Ingredients

Scale
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 1/2 cup packed brown sugar
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 1/3 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 tablespoon cornstarch
  • 1/4 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/4 teaspoon table salt
  • 1/2 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
  • 1/2 cup mini M&M's (red, white & blue)
  • Sprinkles for decoration

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and spray a 9-inch pie plate with nonstick baking spray.
  2. In a mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until light and fluffy.
  3. Mix in the egg and vanilla extract until well combined.
  4. In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, cornstarch, baking soda, and salt. Gradually incorporate the dry ingredients into the wet mixture until a soft dough forms.
  5. Fold in chocolate chips, mini M&M's, and sprinkles before spreading the dough evenly in the prepared pie plate.
  6. Bake for 17–18 minutes until golden brown around the edges. Let cool on a wire rack.
  7. For frosting, beat softened butter with salt and vanilla until creamy; gradually add powdered sugar and heavy cream until fluffy.
  8. Pipe swirls of frosting onto the cooled cookie cake and top with additional sprinkles.

Nutrition

Keywords: Ensure your butter is at room temperature for optimal mixing. Allow adequate cooling time before frosting to prevent melting. Feel free to swap mix-ins based on personal preference.
