Ingredients:
- 3/4 cup granulated sugar
- 3/4 cup coconut oil
- 1 tablespoon vanilla extract
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon cream of tartar
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 cup M&Ms
- 1/2 cup “jimmie” sprinkles (red, white, and blue preferably!)
Frosting:
- 1 1/2 cups powdered sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 3 tablespoons coconut oil, softened
- 1/8 teaspoon salt
Directions:
- Preheat oven to 350°F. Line a 9” round cake pan with foil and spray with non-stick cooking spray.
- Make the cookie cake: Beat coconut oil and sugar with a hand or a stand mixer until creamy. Beat in vanilla, then mix in baking soda, salt, and cream of tartar. Slowly mix in flour. Stir in M&Ms and sprinkles.
- Press batter into prepared pan, pressing more M&Ms onto the top as desired. Bake for 19-22 minutes or until the edges are just turning a light golden brown. It’s better to under bake this dough than over bake it. The cake will continue cooking a bit as it cools so err on the side of underdone for the best tasting cookie. Let it cool completely before frosting.
- Make the frosting: beat butter until smooth, then slowly beat in powdered sugar until crumbly. Add salt and vanilla. Beat until smooth.
- To frost: use a 1M tip and a Ziplock or piping bag to decorate the cookie cake. Top with more sprinkles and M&Ms.
- Enjoy!
