Valentine's Day M&M Cookies
Report
My Valentine's Day M&M Cookies are adorned with vibrant red, pink, and white M&M candies and dark chocolate chips. Each bite reveals a delightful combination of soft and chewy cookie dough infused with the rich flavor of chocolate, complemented by the sweet and slightly crunchy bursts of M&M candies. They are a perfect treat that embodies the spirit of love and affection on this romantic holiday!

Ingredients
- 2 cups all purpose flour, spooned and leveled
- 1 tsp. corn starch
- 1/2 tsp. baking soda
- 1/2 tsp. baking powder
- 1/2 tsp. salt
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, cold, cut into cubes
- 1/2 cup brown sugar, packed (light or dark)
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1 large egg, room temperature
- 1 large egg yolk, room temperature
- 1 tsp. vanilla extract
- 1 cup chocolate chips
- 3/4 cup M&Ms (Cupids Mix for Valentine's Day)
- flaky sea salt for finishing, optional
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°F. and line a couple baking sheets with parchment paper.
- Mix dry ingredients together: In a large bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, cornstarch, baking soda, baking powder and salt. Set aside.
- Cream the butter with the sugars using the paddle attachment of a stand mixer, for 2 minutes, scraping down the sides of the bowl as needed. It will sort of look like a paste, not really creamed since our butter is cold.
- Then add in the egg, egg yolk and vanilla extract. Mix until combined.
- Gradually add in the flour mixture until ingredients are incorporated.
- Fold in the chocolate chips and M&Ms using a rubber spatula.
- Scoop the cookie dough using a 2 Tbsp. cookie scoop onto the prepared baking sheet.
- Place extra M&M’s and chocolate chips on the top of the cookies if desired (I always like to do this, makes them look cuter!)
- Bake for 9-11 minutes, (I like to go slightly underbaked for a delicious chewy cookie, the edges should be a light golden brown and centers still a little gooey looking, they will continue to bake on baking sheet when removed from oven).
- Remove from oven, gently press any additional M&M candies and chocolate chips on the cookies if you want while they're still warm and let the cookies rest on the cookie sheet for just 1-2 minutes, then transfer to a cooling rack, garnish with flaky sea salt and enjoy!
Notes
- M&M creates seasonal M&Ms so you can use this recipe to make Easter cookies with the pastel color M&Ms, Christmas cookies with red & green seasonal M&Ms (or try my Christmas Monster Cookies), Halloween M&Ms, etc.
- If you just want a good ol' M&M cookie, I recommend using the mini M&Ms like in my Chocolate Chip M&M Cookies!
