Ingredients
Main Ingredients
- 1/2 cup butter (slightly softened) Room temperature for easier mixing.
- 1/2 cup brown sugar (packed) For that extra moistness.
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar For a delightful sweet crunch.
- 1 large egg
- 2 tsp vanilla extract Real vanilla is always best!
- 1 & 1/3 cup all-purpose flour Spooned and leveled for accuracy.
- 1 tbsp corn starch To enhance the chewiness.
- 1/2 tsp baking soda For a lovely rise.
- 1/2 tsp salt To balance sweetness.
- 2/3 cup Valentine’s Day M&M’s Use extra for decoration if desired.
- 7 cookies Oreo cookies (roughly chopped) Regular stuffed NOT double stuffed for the right texture.
Instructions
Preparation
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silpat.
- In a medium bowl, cream together the butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until light and fluffy (about 2-3 minutes).
- Add in the egg and vanilla extract, mixing until smooth.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, corn starch, baking soda, and salt. Gradually add the dry mixture to the wet ingredients, stirring until just combined.
- Fold in the Valentine's Day M&M’s and chopped Oreos.
- Using a cookie scooper (about 1/4 cup), scoop the dough onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them out.
- Bake for 13 minutes. Cookies may look underdone in the middle but will firm up as they cool.
- Once out of the oven, swirl around the warm cookies using a larger cookie cutter to maintain a round shape and cool on a wire rack.
Notes
Store cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to a week or freeze for up to three months. Dough can be made in advance and refrigerated for up to 48 hours.
