Valentine's Day Oreo M&M's Cookies
Deliciously rich cookies featuring a crisp outer edge and a chewy middle, studded with crushed Oreos and bright M&M's, perfect for celebrating Valentine’s Day.
Ingredients
For the Cookie Dough
- 1/2 cup butter (slightly softened) Use real butter for better flavor.
- 1/2 cup brown sugar
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1 large egg Use room temperature for smoother mixing.
- 2 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 and 1/3 cup flour Spoon into the measuring cup to prevent dry cookies.
- 1 tbsp corn starch
- 1/2 tsp baking soda
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 2/3 cup Valentine's day m&m's Use red, pink, and white candies for a festive look.
- 7 pieces Oreo cookies (roughly chopped) Regular stuffed Oreos preferred.
Instructions
Preparation
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silpat.
- In a medium bowl, cream together the butter and both sugars until light and fluffy.
- Add the vanilla extract and egg and mix until smooth.
- In another bowl, combine the flour, corn starch, baking soda, and salt. Gradually add to the wet mixture just until combined.
- Fold in the M&M's and chopped Oreo pieces.
Baking
- Using a large cookie scooper (1/4 cup), scoop out the cookie dough to create 10 equal cookies on the prepared baking sheet.
- Bake for 13 minutes or until the edges are a soft golden color and the centers are still glossy.
- Use a larger cookie cutter to shape the cookies while they are still warm.
- Cool on the cookie sheet for 5 minutes before transferring to a cooling rack.
- Once cooled, you can add extra M&M's on top if desired.
Notes
To keep cookies tender, store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 4 days. To freeze dough, freeze scooped dough and bake from frozen adding 2-3 minutes to the baking time.
