Ingredients in M&M Cookie Pizza

Flour: All-purpose flour works best.
Baking powder: Just 1/2 teaspoon of baking powder acts as the leavening agent in the cookie pizza, so for best results, make sure it isn’t old or expired.
Salt: Just a little bit of salt will help all of the other flavors to pop.
Butter: You will need 1/4 cup of melted butter for the cookie dough. Real butter definitely works best!
Brown sugar:For best results, make sure that your brown sugar is soft and fresh.
Sugar: You only need 2 tablespoons of granulated sugar to add a little bit of extra sweetness to the cookie.
Egg: One large egg will help to bind everything together.
Vanilla extract: The higher the quality of the vanilla, the better.
M&Ms: You will need about a cup of M&Ms, but only about 3/4 of them will be mixed into the dough. Make sure to reserve the rest to sprinkle on top. You can use regular M&Ms or any of the dozens of variations there are. I actually love to use mini M&Ms!
Milk chocolate morsels: You only need about 1/4 cup of milk chocolate chips to melt down to spread on the top of the cookie pizza. Milk chocolate pairs so well with the M&Ms, but if you prefer, you can swap them out with any other type of chocolate.

Helpful Tips for M&M Pizza

Full instructions can be found on the recipe card below, but here are a few helpful tips for making M&M Cookie Pizza.

Get creative: Add different candies like chopped Reese’s, Snickers, or Oreos to make your M&M Pizza unique.
Use fresh brown sugar: Soft, fresh brown sugar ensures chewy cookies with better flavor.
Mini M&Ms: Try using mini M&Ms for a more even distribution in each bite.
Don’t overbake: The cookie will continue baking in the skillet after you remove it from the oven. Take it out when the edges are golden and the center is just set.
Switch it up: Swap milk chocolate with white chocolate or dark chocolate for a different flavor profile.

Storage Instructions

Room temperature: Wrap tightly in plastic wrap or store in an airtight container for up to 3–4 days.
Freezer: Freeze the baked cookie (without chocolate and M&Ms topping) for up to 3 months. Thaw, then add chocolate and toppings before serving.

Ingredients

½ teaspoon baking powder
¼ teaspoon salt
¼ cup butter melted
¼ cup packed brown sugar
2 tablespoons sugar
1 egg
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 cup M&M Milk Chocolate candies divided
¼ cup milk chocolate morsels

Instructions

Preheat the oven to 350°. Prepare an 8 inch cast-iron skillet with parchment paper.
In a small bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt.
In a mixing bowl, beat together the melted butter and sugars. Add the egg and vanilla, beating until well blended.
Add the flour to the sugar mixture and mix until combined.
To the batter, stir in ¾ cup of the candies.
Press the dough into the prepared skillet.
Bake the cookie for 15 to 20 minutes or until the edges are lightly golden brown and the top of the cookie is set. Place the skillet on a wire rack and let it cool for 10 minutes.
To melt the chocolate, place the milk chocolate morsels into a microwave-safe bowl. Heat on high for 30 seconds. Stir well and repeat for 15 seconds, stirring after each heating cycle, until the chocolate is melted.
Spread the melted chocolate over the cookie and press the remaining M&Ms into the chocolate.
Let the cookie pizza rest for 15 to 20 minutes or until the cookie is completely cooled and the chocolate is set.
