Instructions

Preheat oven to 180 C (350 F) standard / 160 C (320 F) fan-forced. Grease and line a 9-inch springform cake tin.
In a large mixing bowl, beat the butter and sugars with an electric mixer until pale and creamy. Add vanilla and egg and continue to beat until soft and creamy.
Sift in the flour, baking soda and cocoa powder. Gently mix until cookie dough comes together. Add a tablespoon or two of milk to make the cookie dough lovely and soft.
Throw in the M&M’s and chocolate and fold through. Place the dough into your prepared tin and spread out as evenly as possible. Press extra M&M’s on top.
Place in the oven for 20-25 minutes. Try not to overcook as you want it soft and gooey in the middle. Leave to cool before slicing and serving.
