How to Make M&M’s Monster Cookie Pizza Pie
Making your own M&M’s Monster Cookie Pizza Pie is a breeze! Here’s what you need.
Ingredients:
- 1/2 cup butter, softened
- 1 cup brown sugar
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 1 large egg
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/2 tsp baking soda
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1 cup M&M’s candies (plus extra for topping)
- 1/2 cup chocolate chips
- Optional: whipped cream or ice cream for serving
Directions:
-
Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a round pizza pan.
-
In a large bowl, cream together the softened butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until light and fluffy.
-
Beat in the egg and vanilla extract until well combined.
-
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.
-
Gently fold in the M&M’s and chocolate chips.
-
Spread the cookie dough evenly onto the prepared pizza pan, pressing it into a circle.
-
Bake in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown. The center may look slightly underbaked; this is fine as it will continue to cook while cooling.
-
Remove from the oven and let cool completely in the pan.
-
Once cooled, decorate the top with additional M&M’s and optional whipped cream or ice cream before slicing and serving.
