Cookie Cake
Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Line the bottom of a giant round cookie cake pan with a circle of parchment paper. Lightly spray edges of pan with baking spray, set aside.
In the bowl of a stand mixer, beat together butter and sugars until fluffy, about2-3 minutes. Add vanilla and one egg, mix, then add the egg yolk and mix until combined.
In a medium size mixing bowl, whisk together flour, bakingsoda, and salt. With mixing speed on low, gradually add to wet ingredients. Mixuntil just combined.
Remove bowl from stand and fold in chocolate chips and M&Ms. Pour batter into prepared pan. Smooth out and sprinkle a few M&M's on top. Place in oven and bake for 16-22 minutes or until the top turns golden brown in color. Remove and place pan on cooling rack. Allow to cool for 45 minutes before removing from pan and frosting.
Frosting
Meanwhile, to prepare the frosting, in the bowl of a stand mixer, beat together butter, vanilla, heavy cream and salt. With mixing speed on low, gradually add powdered sugar. Turn the speed up to high and beat until fluffy, about 5 minutes. Tint with food coloring if desired.
Pipe frosting around the edges of the cake using a large decorating tip. If desired, using a smaller decorating tip, pipe lettering in the center of the cake.NOTE: You can use any 9x13 cookie bar or brownie recipe in this pan, just remember to adjust the baking time accordingly!
