Ingredients
Scale
- 2 sticks (1 cup) butter, at room temperature
- 1 cup brown sugar
- ½ cup sugar
- 2 eggs
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 2 cups plus 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- ½ teaspoon salt
- 2 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 1+ cups M&Ms, divided (fall colors recommended)
- Tube of black frosting (store-bought or homemade) for spiderweb decoration
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 375ºF (190ºC). Line a 14-inch deep round pizza pan with parchment paper and grease the entire pan, including the paper. Set aside.
- In a large mixing bowl, cream together the butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until light and fluffy.
- Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. Mix in the vanilla extract.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, mixing until just combined.
- Fold in the semi-sweet chocolate chips and ½ cup of M&Ms. Spread the dough evenly in the prepared pizza pan.
- Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the edges are golden and the center is set. Remove from the oven and immediately press the remaining M&Ms into the top of the hot cookie cake.
- Allow the cookie cake to cool in the pan. Once cooled, carefully remove it from the pan if desired. Using a tube of black frosting, pipe a spiderweb design onto the top of the cake.
- Slice into wedges and serve. Enjoy your spooky creation!
Notes
- Be sure to grease the parchment paper thoroughly to prevent the cookie from sticking.
- When pressing the M&Ms into the hot cookie cake, stabilize the pan with a hot pad to avoid burns.
- The cookie cake can be made a day in advance and decorated just before serving.
