Ingredients
Cookie Dough
- 3/4 cup butter room temperature
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1 egg + 1 egg yolk
- 1 1/2 teaspoons vanilla
- 2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoons baking powder
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/3 cup sprinkles red, white and blue
- 3/4 cup M&M's® Candies White, & Blue Milk Chocolate candies
For Frosting:
- 1/2 cup butter room temperature
- 1 teaspoon vanilla
- 3 cups powdered sugar
- 2-3 Tablespoons milk
Toppings:
- Red, White and Blue Sprinkles
- M&M's® Red, White and Blue Milk Chocolate candies
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Spray a 10" tart pan with non-stick baking spray, and set aside.
- With a hand or stand mixer, cream together the butter and sugar until creamy and fluffy. Add the egg and yolk, and vanilla. Mix until combined.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the flower, baking powder, and salt. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, stopping the mixer to scrape down the sides of the bowl. Dough will be thick and slightly stiff. Fold in the sprinkles and M&M's® Red, White, & Blue Milk Chocolate candies to the dough. Mix until just combined.
- Evenly press the dough into the prepared tart pan. Bake at 350 for 26-30 minutes until light golden brown. Remove from oven and let cool completely before frosting and decorating.
For Frosting:
- With a hand or stand mixer, cream together the butter and vanilla. Gradually add in the powered sugar, one cup at a time, stopping to scrape down the sides of the bowl. Gradually add in milk 1 Tbsp at a time. Frosting should be a thick consistency. Pipe on the frosting (I used a Wilton 1M tip). Decorate the frosting and cookie with additional sprinkles and M&M's® Red, White, & Blue Milk Chocolate candies.
Notes
This can be decorated with any color of M&M's and sprinkles. Great for any holiday or a birthday celebration.
