Preheat oven to 350°F. Line a 9 inch pie dish with a round of parchment paper and lightly grease the dish. Set aside.

Dry ingredients
6
In a separate bowl, combine flour, cornstarch, baking soda, and salt. With the mixer on low, slowly add the flour mixture to the wet ingredients, beating until combined (about a minute). By hand, stir in chocolate chips and M&M's (if desired you can reserve a few M&M's to press onto the top of the cookie).

Place in dish

Evenly press the dough into the prepared pie dish. The dough will be thick and sticky. Wet your fingertips with a little water (if necessary) to help flatten the dough into the dish. Lightly press the reserved M&M's on top.

Bake for ⏱️ 20-25 minutes, until the edges are beginning to turn light golden brown and the very center is still a bit underdone. Place on a wire rack to cool completely.
