✨ Ingredients

• 1 package chocolate chip cookie dough (the kind separated into cubes)
• 1 can vanilla frosting
• Green food coloring
• Red food coloring
• Red and green M&Ms
• Holiday sprinkles
• Round baking dish or pie dish
• Piping bag

🧁 Instructions

Prepare the Base

Preheat your oven according to your cookie dough package.

Add all the cookie dough cubes into your round baking or pie dish.

Press down firmly with your hands or the back of a spoon until the entire dish is filled with an even layer of dough.

Add M&Ms

Sprinkle red and green M&Ms over the top and gently press them into the dough.

Bake

Bake according to the cookie dough package instructions.

The center should be set and the edges lightly golden.

Allow the cookie cake to cool completely before decorating.

Tint the Frosting

While the cookie cools, divide the frosting:

Mix ¾ of the can with green food coloring for the wreath.

Mix the remaining ¼ with red food coloring for the bow.

Pipe the Wreath

Fill a piping bag with your green frosting and pipe around the outer edge of the cookie in small swirls or dollops.

For a fuller look, pipe a second layer inside.

Add the Bow

Add the red frosting to a separate piping bag and pipe a bow shape at the bottom of the wreath.

Finish With Sprinkles

Add holiday sprinkles for extra color and texture.

🎄 Serving

Slice like a pie and enjoy warm or at room temperature. This cookie cake is soft, festive, and perfect for holiday gatherings!
