Ingredients

For the Cookie Cake:

  • ½ cup butter, softened
  • ½ cup packed brown sugar
  • ¼ cup granulated sugar
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour
  • ½ teaspoon baking soda
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
  • ½ cup pastel M&Ms (Easter M&Ms)
  • ½ cup pastel sprinkles

For the Frosting:

  • 1 ½ cups powdered sugar
  • ¼ cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 2 tablespoons milk

Instructions

  • Prepare the Cookie Dough – Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a round cake pan. In a large mixing bowl, cream together butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until light and fluffy. Add the egg and vanilla extract and mix until combined.
  • Add the Dry Ingredients – In a separate bowl, whisk together flour, baking soda, and salt. Gradually mix the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients until fully incorporated. Fold in the chocolate chips, M&Ms, and sprinkles.
  • Bake the Cookie Cake – Press the dough evenly into the prepared cake pan. Bake for 18-22 minutes or until golden brown. Let it cool completely before decorating.
  • Make the Frosting – Beat powdered sugar, softened butter, vanilla extract, and milk together until smooth and creamy.
  • Decorate & Serve – Spread frosting over the cooled cookie cake, then sprinkle extra M&Ms and pastel sprinkles on top. Slice and enjoy!

Notes

    • Let the cookie cake cool completely before frosting to prevent melting.
    • Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days or refrigerate for up to a week.
    • Swap semi-sweet chocolate chips for white chocolate or peanut butter chips for a unique twist.
    • Make it gluten-free by using a 1:1 gluten-free flour blend.
