Let's walk through the steps to create a Red, White, and Blue Sugar Cookie Pie you'll be proud to serve, and that will be devoured in no time! These are the basic steps—follow the recipe below for all the specifics.
Heat your oven to 350°F for even baking. Lightly spray only the bottom of your 9-inch pie plate with cooking spray for easy release.
In a large bowl, combine cookie mix, softened butter, egg, and flour; stir until a soft dough forms. Gently fold in M&M's® and initial sprinkles. Press dough firmly and evenly into the pie plate.
Bake for 20 minutes, or until edges are golden. Cool completely on a wire rack for 30 minutes.
Combine sifted powdered sugar, softened butter, vanilla, and 2 tbsp milk; beat 3 minutes until light and airy, adding more milk (1 tsp at a time) for desired consistency. Spread on completely cooled pie, top with sprinkles, slice, and enjoy!
Store loosely covered in the refrigerator for up to 4 days.
Heat oven to 350°F. Spray a 9-inch pie plate with cooking spray.
In a large bowl, stir sugar cookie mix, 1/2 cup softened butter, egg, and flour until a soft dough forms. Stir in chocolate candies and 1/4 cup sprinkles. Press the dough into the pie plate.
In a medium bowl, beat powdered sugar, 1/2 cup softened butter, vanilla, and 2 tablespoons of the milk with an electric mixer on medium speed for 3 minutes or until smooth and creamy. If the frosting is too thick, add the remaining 1 tablespoon milk a teaspoon at a time.
Spread frosting over the top of the cooled cookie pie. Decorate with candy sprinkles. Cut into slices to serve.
This recipe can easily be adapted for other holidays using different colored chocolate candies and candy sprinkles.
To add a little flair to the decoration, place frosting in a decorating bag fitted with a star tip. Pipe frosting as desired over pie.
Look for seasonal bags of red, white, and blue M&M's®. The recipe calls for just the red and blue candies, so you can either set the white candies aside for another use or simply use them in the pie as well. If the seasonal candies are not available, standard bags of M&M's® contain both red and blue candies that can be sorted out.
