Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter (room temperature)
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 1/2 cup packed brown sugar
- 1 large egg
- 1 cup crushed Oreos
- 1 cup Valentines M&M’s
Leavening Agents:
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
Flavor Enhancers:
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
- Prepare the oven by heating to 350F (175C), ensuring an even temperature for optimal cookie baking.
- Combine flour and baking soda in a mixing bowl, whisking thoroughly to eliminate any lumps and create a uniform dry mixture.
- Using an electric mixer, blend butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until the mixture becomes airy and pale, creating a smooth base.
- Incorporate egg and vanilla extract, mixing until the ingredients are fully integrated and the batter appears cohesive.
- Slowly introduce the dry ingredient mixture into the wet ingredients, stirring gently to prevent overmixing and maintain a tender cookie texture.
- Gently fold crushed Oreo pieces and colorful M&M’s into the dough, ensuring even distribution for consistent flavor in every bite.
- Arrange rounded dough portions onto a parchment-lined baking sheet, spacing them adequately to allow for slight spreading during baking.
- Place cookies in the preheated oven and bake for 10-12 minutes, watching for golden-brown edges while keeping the centers soft and chewy.
- Remove from oven and allow cookies to cool completely on the baking sheet, letting them set and develop their final texture before serving.
Notes
- Check Oreo cookie texture before crushing to ensure optimal cookie chunks that won’t overwhelm the dough.
- Consider using room temperature butter and egg for smoother, more consistent cookie mixing and better incorporation of ingredients.
- Experiment with different M&Ms colors for festive Valentine’s Day themed cookies, like pink and red varieties for romantic presentation.
- Chill dough for 30 minutes before baking to prevent excessive spreading and maintain a thick, chewy cookie structure.
