Hey there, and welcome back, friends.
You are in for a sweet treat!
I just love the vibrant red and pink M&M’s used in these Valentine’s cookies! It’s so festive for the occasion.
My kids were thrilled with the bright pinks and couldn’t resist biting into one.
I want to talk a little bit about making a great cookie since I have made many of them over the years. Brown sugar makes cookies makes your cookies spread thin and chewier, which I love. I love the result of using both granulated sugar and brown sugar in cookies.
The cookie dough needs to be cold before it is baked. That is the secret to keeping cookies from spreading. So don’t skip the directions to refrigerate the cookie dough; I promise you will love the results!
Since love is in the air, make a batch of these Valentine’s cookies with M&M’s with your loved ones.
Ingredients
- unsalted butter
- brown sugar
- granulated sugar
- a few eggs
- vanilla extract
- all-purpose flour
- baking soda
- cornstarch
- salt
- milk chocolate chips
- Valentine’s red and pink M&Ms
How to Make Valentine’s M&M Cookies
In a medium mixing bowl with a hand mixer, beat the butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until combined.
Add the eggs and vanilla. Mix until combined.
Mix the flour, baking soda, cornstarch, and salt in a separate medium mixing bowl with a whisk.
Add the dry mixture to the wet mixture. Mix with a large spoon until thoroughly combined.
Fold in the chocolate chips and M&Ms.
Cover and chill the dough for at least 1 hour. This will help prevent the cookies from spreading. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper. Use a cookie scoop to measure 2-3 tablespoons of dough.
Roll into a smooth ball. Place each cookie dough ball 2 inches apart on the cookie sheet. You can press a few extra M&Ms into the top of each cookie dough ball for looks.
Bake for 10-12 minutes or until the edges begin to brown. Allow the cookies to cool for 10 minutes before transferring to a wire cooling rack. Enjoy!
How to Store
Store homemade cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days or keep them fresh longer by storing them in the fridge for up to 2 weeks. You can also freeze cookies for up to 3 months.
