Ingredients
- 1/2 cup Butter softened
- 1/2 cup Sugar
- 1/2 cup Brown Sugar
- 1 large Egg
- 2 teaspoons Vanilla extract
- 1 1/2 cups all purpose flour
- 1/8 teaspoon salt
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon Baking Soda
- 1 cup Snowball M&M's or any kind of Blue M&M's - see link
- 1/2 cup Red White and Blue Sprinkle Mix - of choice
- 1 can Pillsbury Vanilla Frosting
- Red Food Coloring Gel
Instructions
- In a large bowl, mix together the Butter, Sugar, Brown Sugar, Egg, and Vanilla, until creamy and fluffy.
- In a separate bowl, add the Flour, Salt, Baking Powder, and Baking Soda, and mix well. Add the Flour mixture to the Butter mixture a little at a time, stirring between additions, until all the flour has been incorporated and the mixture is like Cookie dough.
- Add Sprinkles and M&M's to the bowl, and gently fold into the dough.
- Grease and Flour the Cookie Pan, and press the Cookie Dough evenly into the pan, smoothing the top with the back of your spoon.
- Bake at 350 for 20 minutes, then carefully remove to a wire rack to cool completely.
- When cooled; add several drops of the Red Food Coloring Gel to the can of Frosting, until you get a bright Red color. Stir well to mix completely.
- Place a large Star Tip in a Pastry bag, and place the Red Frosting in the Pastry bag. Pipe small Stars around the edge, and in the middle of the Cookie Cake.
- Place an M&M in the center of the Frosting, and add more Sprinkles to the top of the Cookie Cake.
- Serve, and ENJOY!
Notes
- You can make this cookie pie ahead of time, but wait to decorate until just before serving- otherwise you run the risk of the colors on both the frosting and candies bleeding.
- If you really need to shortcut this recipe, you can use store bought cookie dough but will have to adjust the bake time.
- Change the colors of the frosting and the candies used to make this cookie cake fit any holiday theme or occasion!
