Ingredients You’ll Need
Cookie Dough Essentials
You’ll need butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar for a soft, flavorful base. Add an egg and vanilla extract for smooth texture and aroma. Then stir in flour, cornstarch, baking soda, and salt. These simple pantry ingredients create thick, chewy cookies that hold their shape.
Oreo and Valentine’s mms Mix-Ins
Chopped Oreos add chocolate crunch, while the Valentine’s mms bring color and fun. Avoid double-stuffed Oreos since the extra cream can make the cookies spread too much. Add a few extra mms on top before baking for a pretty finish.
How to Make Valentines Day Oreo mms Cookies
Prepping the Oven and Mixing the Dough
Preheat your oven to 350°F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. In a large bowl, cream butter and sugars until smooth. Then mix in the egg and vanilla extract. Add dry ingredients — flour, cornstarch, baking soda, and salt — and stir until just combined.
Folding in Oreos and mms
Carefully fold in chopped Oreos and Valentine’s mms. Mix just until evenly distributed, keeping the dough thick and soft. Save a few candies and cookie chunks for topping.
Scooping, Baking, and Cooling the Cookies
Scoop dough using a ¼ cup scoop to make about 10 large cookies. Place on the baking sheet and bake for 13 minutes, just until edges are golden. Let cookies rest for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
Expert Tips for Perfect Cookies Every Time
How to Keep Cookies Soft and Chewy
Slightly underbake the cookies so they stay soft as they cool. They’ll continue cooking a little from the residual heat. Store in an airtight container to keep them tender for days.
Shaping and Preventing Overbaking
Use a round cookie cutter to gently shape the cookies right after baking. This trick keeps them perfectly round. Watch the bake time closely to avoid crisp edges and dry centers.
Storage, Freezing, and Make-Ahead Instructions
How to Store Cookies at Room Temperature
Once cooled, store your Valentines Day Oreo mms cookies in an airtight container for up to 5 days. Add a small slice of bread in the container to keep them soft longer.
Freezing and Reheating for Later
Freeze cookies in a zip-top bag for up to 2 months. When ready to eat, reheat in the microwave for 10–15 seconds for that warm, fresh-from-the-oven taste.
Recipe Variations and Substitutions
Gluten-Free Valentines Day Cookies
Use a 1:1 gluten-free flour blend and gluten-free Oreos. The texture and flavor stay just as soft and chewy.
Ice Cream Sandwiches and Flavor Swaps
Slightly underbaked cookies make amazing ice cream sandwiches. Try vanilla or strawberry ice cream between two cookies. You can also mix in peanut butter mms for a fun twist.
