Ingredients
  

For the cookie dough
  • 1/2 cup butter (Slightly softened) Use slightly softened butter, not melted, for the best texture.
  • 1/2 cup brown sugar
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 large egg
  • 2 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1 1/3 cups flour
  • 1 tbsp corn starch
  • 1/2 tsp baking soda
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 2/3 cup Valentine's day M&M's Press a couple of M&M’s onto the tops before baking for prettier presentation.
  • 7 pieces Oreo cookies (roughly chopped, regular stuffed) Regular-stuffed Oreos are key; double-stuffed will make the ratio too sweet and soft.

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Preheat the oven to 350°F, then line a baking sheet with parchment paper or silpat.
  2. In a medium bowl, cream the butter and both sugars together using a spatula.
  3. Add in the vanilla and egg and mix until smooth and well incorporated.
  4. Add in the dry ingredients over the wet mixture: flour, corn starch, baking soda, and salt. Stir just until combined.
  5. Gently fold in the M&M's and Oreo pieces.
  6. Using a large cookie scooper (1/4 cup-4 tbsp), scoop out the cookie dough to create 10 equal cookies.
Baking
  1. Place the dough mounds on the prepared baking sheet and bake for 13 minutes.
  2. Don't worry if they look underdone or gooey in the middle; they will continue to bake after you remove them from the oven.
  3. Use a larger cookie cutter to gently nudge the cookies into a round shape as soon as they come out.
Cooling
  1. Cool on the cookie sheet for 5 minutes then transfer to a cooling rack.

Notes

For a festive touch, top each cookie with an extra few M&M’s right after baking so they stick. Store cooled cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days or freeze for longer storage.
