Ingredients
  

Cookie Dough Ingredients
  • 1/2 cup butter (slightly softened) Keep it at room temperature for easy mixing.
  • 1/2 cup brown sugar Use packed brown sugar for extra moisture.
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar Balance the flavors with refined sweetness.
  • 1 large egg A large egg binds the ingredients together.
  • 2 tsp vanilla extract Adds warmth and depth to the cookies.
  • 1 1/3 cup flour Provides structure for the cookie dough.
  • 1 tbsp corn starch Ensures the cookies remain soft and chewy.
  • 1/2 tsp baking soda Helps cookies rise and attain a light texture.
  • 1/2 tsp salt Enhances the sweetness and flavor profile.
  • 2/3 cup Valentine's Day M&M's Adds color and a fun crunch.
  • 7 pieces Oreo cookies (roughly chopped, regular stuffed) Incorporates a cookies-and-cream flavor.

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Preheat the oven to 350°F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a Silpat.
  2. In a medium bowl, cream the butter with both sugars until smooth using a spatula.
  3. Add in the vanilla and egg; mix until fully incorporated.
  4. Over the wet mixture, add the dry ingredients: flour, cornstarch, baking soda, and salt.
  5. Stir gently just until combined, without overmixing.
  6. Fold in the Valentine's Day M&M's and chopped Oreo pieces.
  7. Using a large cookie scoop (1/4 cup), scoop out the dough to create 10 equal cookies.
  8. Place them on the prepared baking sheet.
Baking
  1. Bake for 13 minutes. Don’t worry if they look underdone; they will firm up as they cool.
  2. Use a larger cookie cutter to reshape the cookies into a perfect round shape right after they come out.
  3. Cool on the cookie sheet for 5 minutes, then transfer to a cooling rack.

Notes

Serve warm from the oven paired with milk, coffee, or ice cream for a delightful experience. Store in an airtight container for up to five days or freeze for up to three months.
