# What You'll Need:
→ Wet Mix
01 -
½ cup melted butter (one stick, about 4 ounces)
02 -
¾ cup brown sugar
03 -
¼ cup white sugar
04 -
1 egg
05 -
2 teaspoons vanilla flavor

1 ⅓ cups all-purpose flour
07 -
½ teaspoon baking soda

¼ teaspoon table salt
→ Add-ins
09 -
½ cup chocolate morsels
10 -
¾ cup colorful candy pieces, split (like Easter M&M's and tiny Cadbury eggs)
# Step-by-Step Guide:
01 -
Heat your oven to 350ºF. Coat a 9-inch pie dish with cooking spray and put it aside.
02 -
Melt your butter in a big microwave-safe container. Stir in both sugars, then add vanilla. Mix in the egg until everything's smooth.
03 -
In another bowl, stir together flour, baking soda, and salt. Slowly pour this into your wet mixture, stirring gently until it's all combined.
04 -
Gently fold chocolate morsels and half the candy pieces into the batter. Save the rest of the candy for topping.
05 -
Dump the dough into your greased pie dish and flatten the top with a spatula. Bake about 25 minutes until it turns golden on top.
06 -
Take it out and quickly press the leftover candy onto the hot surface. Let your cookie cake cool down before you cut it up.
# Additional Notes:
01 -
The total time doesn't count how long it takes to cool.
02 -
You might need to tweak things if you're baking at high elevations.
