Valentine M&M Cookies
Soft and chewy Valentine M&M Cookies made with chocolate chips and sprinkles. A festive, easy cookie recipe perfect for Valentine's Day gifting and baking with kids.
Ingredients
- 1 cup unsalted butter softened
- 1 cup light brown sugar packed
- ½ cup granulated sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 1 tablespoon vanilla extract
- 2 ½ cups all-purpose flour
- 2 tablespoons cornstarch
- 1 ¼ teaspoons baking soda
- ½ teaspoon salt
- 1 ¼ cups Valentine M&Ms
- 1 cup chocolate chips
- ¼ cup sprinkles
I always use Kosher salt in my kitchen! If using table salt, start with half the amount and adjust to taste, as it is much "saltier" by volume.
Instructions
- In a medium bowl mix together the flour, cornstarch, baking soda and salt. Set aside.
- In a mixer fitted with the paddle attachment cream together the butter and both sugars until light and fluffy.
- Add in the eggs, one at a time, scraping the sides of the bowl as needed. Add in the vanilla extract and mix until fully combined.
- Slowly add in the dry mixture, scraping the sides of the bowl as needed to fully incorporate the dry ingredients. Once fully combined, fold in the M&Ms, chocolate chips and sprinkles. Reserve a few for topping the cookie dough for presentation.
- Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Scoop the cookie dough using a 1-ounce scoop, or two heaping tablespoons and place dough balls 2 inches apart. Gently press down to slightly flatten. Add additional M&Ms, chocolate chips and sprinkles if desired.
- Place the baking sheet in the refrigerator for 2 hours before baking.
- Place the chilled cookie dough in a 350°F oven and bake for approximately 14 minutes. Cool for 5 minutes before transferring to a cooling rack. Enjoy!
