Ingredients
  

Wet Ingredients
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, slightly softened Helps control salt
  • 1/2 cup Brown sugar, packed Adds moisture
  • 1/4 cup Granulated sugar Balances sweetness
  • 1 piece Egg, room temperature Helps texture
  • 2 tsp Vanilla extract Use real vanilla
Dry Ingredients
  • 1 1/3 cup All-purpose flour Works well
  • 1 tbsp Corn starch Keeps cookies tender
  • 1/2 tsp Baking soda For lift
  • 1/2 tsp Salt Enhances chocolate flavor
Mix-ins
  • 2/3 cup Valentine's Day M&M's Use festive ones
  • 7 cookies Oreo cookies, roughly chopped Regular stuffed, not double stuffed; fold gently

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Preheat the oven to 350°F and line a baking sheet with parchment or silpat.
  2. In a medium bowl, cream the butter with both sugars until smooth.
  3. Add the vanilla and egg, stirring until everything looks glossy and well combined.
  4. In a small bowl, whisk the flour, corn starch, baking soda, and salt.
  5. Add the dry mix to the wet ingredients and stir just until there are no streaks of flour.
  6. Fold in the M&M's and chopped Oreos gently to keep chunks.
  7. Scoop dough with a 1/4-cup scooper to make 10 equal mounds and place them on the sheet.
Baking
  1. Bake for 13 minutes until edges are set and centers look soft and gooey.
  2. Use a larger cookie cutter to gently roll each cookie for a neat shape.
  3. Cool on the sheet for 5 minutes, then transfer to a rack to finish cooling.

Notes

For cleaner scoops, chill dough for 10 minutes. If cookies spread too thin, chill scoops before baking.
