Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 2 large eggs
- 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 2 ½ cups all-purpose flour
- ¾ cup brown sugar, packed
- ¾ cup granulated sugar
Flavor and Mix-in Ingredients:
- 1 cup crushed Oreo cookies (about 10 Oreos)
- ¾ cup Valentine M&Ms (plus extra for topping)
- ½ cup white chocolate chips (optional)
Seasoning and Binding Ingredients:
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- ½ teaspoon salt
Instructions
- Warm up the oven to 350F (175C) and arrange parchment paper or silicone mats on baking sheets to create a non-stick surface.
- In a spacious mixing bowl, whip the softened butter with granulated and brown sugars until the mixture transforms into a fluffy, pale cream. Incorporate eggs individually, ensuring each is fully integrated before adding the next. Splash in vanilla extract for aromatic depth.
- Separately, sift together flour, baking soda, and salt. Gradually fold these dry ingredients into the butter mixture, mixing until a cohesive dough forms without overworking.
- Gently incorporate crushed Oreos, distributing them evenly throughout the dough. Tenderly fold in Valentine M&Ms and white chocolate chips, creating a colorful and textured cookie base.
- Using a cookie scoop, dollop uniform mounds of dough onto prepared baking sheets, leaving sufficient space between each cookie for spreading. Strategically place additional M&Ms on top of each cookie for visual appeal.
- Slide the baking sheets into the preheated oven and bake for 10-11 minutes. Look for golden edges and centers that remain slightly soft, indicating perfect cookie texture.
- Remove from oven and let cookies rest on baking sheets for a brief 4-5 minutes, allowing them to firm up slightly. Transfer to a wire cooling rack to complete the cooling process.
- Once completely cooled, serve and savor these festive, indulgent treats perfect for Valentine’s Day celebrations.
Notes
- Customize the sweetness by adjusting the sugar levels to suit your taste preferences.
- Chill the dough for 30 minutes before baking to prevent excessive spreading and create thicker cookies.
- Crush Oreos coarsely to maintain texture and provide delightful cookie chunks throughout the dough.
- Experiment with different M&M colors for seasonal variations or personalized decorative touches.
