Step-by-Step Directions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silpat.
  2. In a medium bowl, cream together the slightly softened butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar. A spatula works beautifully for this!
  3. Mix in the vanilla extract and egg, ensuring everything is smooth and well organized.
  4. In a separate bowl, combine the dry ingredients: flour, corn starch, baking soda, and salt. Gradually add this mixture to your wet ingredients, stirring until just combined.
  5. Gently fold in the Valentine’s Day M&M’s and chopped Oreos.
  6. Using a large cookie scooper (approximately 1/4 cup or 4 tablespoons), scoop out cookie dough, forming ten equal cookies.
  7. Place the cookies on the prepared baking sheet and bake for 13 minutes. They may look underdone in the center—that’s perfectly okay! They’ll continue to bake as they cool.
  8. If desired, use a larger cookie cutter to shape the cookies into perfect rounds as soon as they come out of the oven.
  9. Allow cookies to cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring them to a cooling rack.

Perfect Pairings for Valentine’s Day Oreo M&M’s Cookies

These cookies are delightful on their own, but why not elevate your serving game? Pair them with a glass of cold milk or a hot cup of coffee for a classic combo. For a festive touch, consider serving them alongside strawberries dipped in chocolate or a scoop of vanilla ice cream.

Keeping Valentine’s Day Oreo M&M’s Cookies Fresh Longer

To keep your Valentine’s Day Oreo M&M’s Cookies fresh, store them in an airtight container at room temperature. They’ll last for about a week—if they last that long! You can also refrigerate them for an extended shelf life. If you want to freeze your cookies, simply place them in a freezer-safe bag after they have cooled completely. They can last for up to three months in the freezer.

Expert Advice

To ensure your cookies turn out perfectly every time, here are some pro tips:

  • It’s best not to overmix the cookie dough once you add the dry ingredients; otherwise, the cookies can become tough.
  • When baking, keep a close eye on the cookies in the last few minutes, as ovens can vary.
  • Consider chilling your cookie dough for about 30 minutes before baking for a thicker cookie that holds its shape better.

Creative Twists

Feeling adventurous? Here are a few variations you can try:

  • Swap out the Valentine’s Day M&M’s for Easter-themed candy eggs for a fun springtime treat.
  • Add a pinch of sea salt to the tops of the cookies just before baking for a sweet and salty combination.
  • For a nutty flavor, toss in some chopped walnuts or pecans.
