Ingredients

  • cups all-purpose flour
  • ¾ cup cocoa powder
  • 2 tsp baking powder
  • ¼ tsp salt
  • 1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter, room temperature
  • 1 cup packed light brown sugar
  • ½ cup granulated sugar
  • 2 large eggs
  • 2 tsp vanilla
  • ½ cup shredded coconut
  • ¾ cup M&Ms
  • Conversation hearts, optional

Buttercream Frosting

  • ½ cup 1 stick unsalted butter, room temperature
  • cups powdered sugar
  • 1-2 Tbsp milk
  • Pink food coloring

Instructions

  • Pre-heat oven to 350 degrees. Line a 9-inch springform pan (heart-shaped if you want!) with parchment paper.
  • In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, and salt.
  • In the bowl of a stand mixer or in a large bowl with a hand mixer, cream together butter and both sugars until light and fluffy, 2-3 minutes.
  • Add eggs and vanilla and mix to combine.
  • Add the flour mixture to the wet ingredients and mix until just combined.
  • Fold in coconut and M&Ms to combine.
  • Press cookie dough into the bottom of the prepared pan as evenly as possible.
  • Bake at 350 degrees for 22-25 minutes, until edges are starting to crisp, but cookie is still gooey in the middle.
  • Remove from oven and set on a wire rack to cool. Once cooled, use a knife to loosen edges of cookie and turn out onto a cake plate or platter.
  • Put buttercream frosting in a pastry bag and pipe along the edges to decorate. Add conversation hearts on top of buttercream if desired.

Buttercream Frosting:

  • In the bowl of a stand mixer or in a large bowl with a hand mixer, beat butter until light and fluffy, occasionally scraping sides of bowl with spatula, about 2-3 minutes.
  • Mix in powdered sugar one cup at a time, until well-blended.
  • Mix in milk, 1 tablespoon at a time, only adding in second tablespoon if necessary.
  • Mix in a couple drops of pink food coloring to get desired color.
