Preparation Steps
- Preheat oven to 350°F (176°C). Line the bottom of a 9-inch cake pan with parchment paper and grease the sides.
- Cream together the butter, peanut butter, and sugars until light and fluffy, about 3-4 minutes.
- Mix in the egg and vanilla extract until combined.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, baking powder, and salt.
- Add the dry ingredients to the butter mixture and mix until well combined.
- Stir in the oats. The cookie dough will be thick.
- Stir in the M&Ms and chocolate chips. They may not stick to the dough completely, but will be fine once in the cake pan.
- Pour the dough into the prepared cake pan and evenly press it into the bottom. Press some of the mix-ins that wouldn’t stick to the dough into the cake pan.
- Bake for 16-18 minutes, or until the edges are slightly golden. Remove from oven and allow to cool completely in the pan.
- To make the frosting, beat the butter until smooth.
- Slowly add about half of the powdered sugar and mix until well combined.
- Add the cocoa powder, vanilla extract, 1 tablespoon of water, and the remaining powdered sugar and mix until smooth.
- Add more water, if needed, to get the right consistency.
- Pipe the frosting onto the edges of the cookie cake, then store in an airtight container until ready to serve.
