cookie, cookie!

I love mrs.fields huge gooey valentines day cookies so I decided to bake some off for my friends&loved ones in pie tins

Giant M&M Cookie pie

Ingredients:

1 cup unsalted butter (at room temp)
1/2 cup brown sugar
1 1/2 cup white sugar
2 eggs
2 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
2 1/2 cup AP flour
1 tsp salt
1 tsp baking soda
1 tsp baking powder
Half bag of Valentine’s M&Ms

Directions:

Preheat your oven to 350 degrees

Cream together the butter and sugars in a mixer. Add the eggs and vanilla, making sure to scrape down the sides of the mixing bowl. Add the flour, salt, baking soda and baking powder and mix on low until everything is incorporated.

Chill the dough in the refrigerate for 2 hours. Scoop out a 1 cup size of dough and roll it into a ball. Roll it around in some M&M’s and place in a 9 inch pie pan spread it around with your hands till it's a 1/2 in.thick. Bake for 15-17minutes until just slightly golden around the edges. Remove from oven and let rest in pie tin. Cool and cut . Enjoy!

FYI - the cookie might look undercooked but don't worry it'll continue to cook in the pan
