Why have a chocolate chip cookie when you can have a brown butter giant cake sized cookie cake instead? Decorated like Captain America‘s shield with chocolate M&Ms. What’s not to love?

Hello friends. I’m excited about todays recipe post, mainly because it includes 2 great things; Marvel, a 10x $100 Walmart gift card giveaway, and M&M’s, but more on the M&M’s later.

A few days ago, Captain America: The Winter Soldier was released on DVD! Hurrah. What I love the most about Captain America is that he has no superhuman powers. Oh, and I’m kinda into the whole Marvel series anyway, so there’s that.

I love his shield too. Reminds me of the RAF logo. And we all know #HeroesEatMMs too. 🙂

But surely just 1 pack of M&Ms isn’t going to cut it…

Why not feed that superhero in your life with a Captain America M&M topped cookie cake instead? That’ll definitely curb the hunger pangs of any big or little super-heros. 🙂

This chocolate chip cookie cake is loaded with chocolate chips, moist, soft and chewy on the inside and a crisp cookie exterior.

When I saw the M&Ms on a recent shopping trip in Walmart (ASDA), I immediately envisioned making the Captain America shield out of the blue and red M&Ms. It was one of those lightbulb moments where you just want to scream “Ta Daaaa!” [and air drum] at the top of your lungs in the supermarket!

Being the responsible adult I‘m not am, I managed to refrain.

But sadly I had a fail. Scratch that, two fails. 🙁 Both cookie cakes sunk with the weight of the M&Ms after baking. I think I’ll chalk this one up as experience and get to work on adapting a cookie cake recipe.

It has to be the weight since I know the usual suspect causes for sunken cakes, and didn’t make any of those mistakes on both of these cookie cakes.

Despite its umm, unique look, this cookie cake is rich, moist and delicious. Made with browned butter, it’s soft and chewy on the inside and crisp on the outside with plenty of studded M&Ms- a perfect marriage in a giant cake size.

Are you a Marvel fan? Who is your favourite character? Do you love sorting through M&Ms for the red and blue M&Ms? 😆 🙂
