Preheat the oven to 350 degrees and spray a 9inch cast iron skillet with nonstick baking spray. Add butter, sugar and brown sugar in a large mixing bowl.
Using an electric mixing cream the butter, sugar, and brown sugar together until smooth.


Add in the egg and pure vanilla extract to the mixing bowl and beat until light and fluffy.
Sift flour, salt, and baking soda in an additional large bowl.


Slowly add 1/3rd of the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients. Beat after each addition to mix all ingredients and fold in the 1 Cup of M&M’s.

Scoop the batter into the prepared skillet and smooth the top of the dough with an offset spatula or butter knife. Sprinkle the remaining M&M’s on top and bake at 350 degrees for 25 minutes.
Set aside to cool completely before decorating.

Vanilla Frosting Directions:
Using a standing mixer, beat the butter, powdered sugar, vanilla and heavy whipping cream until combined, smooth, and thick. Scoop about 1 Cup of frosting into a small bowl and mix in a few drops of the black gel food coloring.

Scoop the black into 1 piping bag and set aside. Scoop the white frosting into the other piping bag.

Cut the tips off each piping bag and using the white frosting, pipe an oval onto the cookie.

Fill in the oval with white frosting and smooth evenly.

Using the black frosting, pipe on the details of Jacks face and pipe a black outline around the white oval.

That’s all you have to do to make this tasty spooky treat! Serve and Enjoy as you watch the Nightmare Before Christmas on Disney Plus!

Hope you enjoy this as much as I do! Happy almost Halloween folks!
