Ingredients
Scale
- 1/2 cup butter, slightly softened
- 1/2 cup brown sugar
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1 egg
- 2 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 & 1/3 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 tbsp corn starch
- 1/2 tsp baking soda
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 2/3 cup Valentine’s Day M&M’s
- 7 Oreo cookies, roughly chopped (regular, not double-stuffed)
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.
- Cream together the butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar in a large mixing bowl until smooth.
- Add the egg and vanilla extract, then mix until fully incorporated.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, corn starch, baking soda, and salt. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined.
- Fold in the crushed Oreo pieces and Valentine’s Day M&M’s.
- Using a large cookie scoop (about 1/4 cup), scoop out the dough and place it on the prepared baking sheet. Top each dough ball with additional Oreo pieces and M&M’s.
- Bake for 13 minutes. The cookies should look slightly underbaked in the center.
- Let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Notes
- Ensure the Oreos used are regular and not double-stuffed to maintain the proper texture of the cookies.
- If you prefer softer cookies, pull them out of the oven just before they fully set and allow them to continue baking as they cool.
- Store the cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days.
- For a gluten-free version, substitute the flour and Oreos with gluten-free alternatives.
