Ingredients

  • 1 cup butter softened
  • ¾ cup sugar
  • ¾ cup brown sugar
  • 1 tsp vanilla
  • 2 eggs
  • 2¼ cups flour
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 1 tsp baking soda
  • 2 cups chocolate chips
  • Ingredients you need to decorate:
  • 1 batch of Vanilla Buttercream Frosting (or a tub of store bought frosting)
  • 1 bag of red white and blue m&ms. You will find them at your local store around 4th of July or on Amazon year round.

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. In large bowl, beat butter, sugar, brown sugar, and vanilla until light and fluffy. Add eggs, one at a time, beating well.
  2. Slowly add flour, salt, and baking soda, beating until well blended.
  3. Stir in chocolate chips by hand.
  4. Spread in greased 9x13 cake pan. I love my Wilton 9x13 cake pan. Personally, I like to cover in foil and then grease the foil. It makes removing the cookie cake much easier.
  5. Bake at 375 degrees F for 20-25 minutes. Cool cookie in pan on a cooling rack and then remove and place on serving platter.
  6. Once the cookie cake is cooled completely, spread icing all over the cookie cake for a thin layer.
  7. Seperate your red white and blue m&ms. Get the kids involved on this.
  8. Add your rectangle of blue m&ms on the cake. My rectangle is 8 m&ms long and 6 m&ms tall.
  9. Then begin your stripes. I did 2 rows of red, then 2 rows of white, then 2 rows of red, etc... You should end of up with 4 red stripes and 3 white stripes.
  10. That is how easy it is! Get the kids involved to make this!

Notes

  • This dessert is a blast to get your kids help with!
