These are the kitchen tools and equipment needed to make this M&Ms Cookie Cake Recipe
The cake pan is Wilton. I grabbed it while thrifting but this is it on amazon. It's "roughly" 12x12 so if you didn't have a heart pan, you could swap it for a 12" pizza pan. The measurements in this Amazon pan actually match mine.
How to Make this M&Ms Cookie Cake Recipe
Preheat your oven to 375 and grease a heart baking pan with nonstick cooking spray and then set it aside.
Mix together chocolate chip cookie mix, butter and egg.
The mixture will be stiff and takes a little work for it to come together, but it will. Spread evenly into the prepared baking pan. Top with about ½ cup of candies.
Bake for 12-14 minutes or until golden brown and edges begin to brown. Remove from oven and cool completely before frosting.
Place frosting into a pastry bag fitted with a large star tip. Pipe around the edge of the cookie cake and sprinkle with sprinkles.
Don't forget the sprinkles!!
Serve immediately or cover loosely and store at room temperature until ready to serve.
This M&Ms Cookie Cake Recipe serves 12-14!
