Valentine's Day Oreo M&M's Cookies
Festive cookies combining Oreo cookies and colorful Valentine's Day M&M's, perfect for celebrating love.
Ingredients
Cookie Base
- 1/2 cup butter (slightly softened) Ensure butter is slightly softened, not melted.
- 1/2 cup brown sugar
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1 large egg
- 2 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 and 1/3 cup flour
- 1 tbsp corn starch
- 1/2 tsp baking soda
- 1/2 tsp salt
Mix-ins
- 2/3 cup Valentine's Day M&M's
- 7 pieces Oreo cookies (roughly chopped) Use regular stuffed Oreos, not double stuffed.
Instructions
Preparation
- Preheat the oven to 350°F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or silpat.
- In a medium bowl, cream the butter and both sugars together using a spatula.
- Add in the vanilla extract and egg, mixing until the mixture is smooth and well combined.
- Sprinkle the dry ingredients over the wet mixture: start with the flour, corn starch, baking soda, and salt. Stir just until everything is combined.
- Fold in the M&M's and chopped Oreo pieces.
- Using a large cookie scooper (about 1/4 cup or 4 tablespoons), scoop out the cookie dough to create 10 equal cookies.
Baking
- Place the cookie dough on the prepared baking sheet and bake for 13 minutes.
- Don’t worry if they look underdone or gooey in the middle; that’s how we want them! They will continue to bake once you take them out of the oven.
Cooling
- Use a larger cookie cutter to gently shape the cookies round right after they come out of the oven.
- Cool them on the cookie sheet for 5 minutes, then transfer to a cooling rack.
Notes
Serve warm or at room temperature; pairs well with milk or vanilla ice cream. Store in an airtight container at room temperature or freeze with parchment paper layers.
