Ingredients
- ¾ cup unsalted butter, softened
- ¾ cup granulated sugar
- 1 large egg
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- ½ teaspoon baking soda
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ½ teaspoon cream of tartar
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 cup pastel M&Ms
- ¼ cup pastel sprinkles
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9-inch cake pan or line it with parchment paper.
- Cream the butter and sugar in a large bowl until light and fluffy.
- Add the egg, vanilla extract, baking soda, salt, and cream of tartar. Mix until well combined.
- Gradually add the flour and mix until a dough forms.
- Fold in the M&Ms and sprinkles.
- Press the dough into the prepared cake pan, spreading it evenly.
- Bake for 19-25 minutes, until the edges are lightly golden and the center is set. Let it cool completely.
- Once cooled, you can add frosting or leave it plain. If frosting, spread a simple buttercream over the top and add extra sprinkles.
Notes
- Feel free to use chocolate chips or other colorful candies instead of M&Ms.
- For an extra flavor boost, add ½ teaspoon of almond extract to the dough.
- Top with chocolate frosting for a rich contrast to the cookie base.
