Oreo M&M’s Cookies Recipe

Introduction

These Oreo M&M’s cookies combine the best of two classic treats into one chewy, colorful delight. With chunks of Oreo cookies and vibrant M&M’s folded into a soft cookie dough, they are perfect for any occasion or just a sweet everyday treat.

Ingredients

• 1/2 cup butter (slightly softened)
• 1/2 cup brown sugar
• 1/4 cup granulated sugar
• 1 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
• 7 Oreo cookies (roughly chopped, regular stuffed, not double stuffed)

Instructions

1. Step 1: Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.
2. Step 2: In a medium bowl, cream together the butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until smooth using a spatula or mixer.
3. Step 3: Add the egg and vanilla extract, mixing until the mixture is smooth and well combined.
4. Step 4: Gradually add the flour, corn starch, baking soda, and salt to the wet ingredients, stirring just until combined. Avoid overmixing.
5. Step 5: Gently fold in the M&M’s and chopped Oreo pieces.
6. Step 6: Using a large cookie scooper (about 1/4 cup or 4 tablespoons), portion out 10 equal cookies onto the prepared baking sheet.
7. Step 7: Bake for 13 minutes. The cookies may look slightly underdone or gooey in the center, which is perfect as they will continue to set while cooling. For perfectly round cookies, gently nudge them with a larger cookie cutter right after taking them out of the oven.
8. Step 8: Let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Tips & Variations

• Substitute the Valentine’s Day M&M’s with regular or any seasonal M&M’s for a different look and flavor.
• Use regular Oreo cookies instead of double stuffed for the right balance of cream and crunch.
• For a softer cookie, slightly underbake and let them finish setting on the baking sheet.
• Add a pinch of cinnamon or espresso powder to the dry ingredients for an extra depth of flavor.

Storage

Store these cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 4 days to keep them soft and fresh. For longer storage, freeze in a sealed container for up to 3 months. To reheat, warm in the microwave for 10–15 seconds or let come to room temperature.

FAQs

Can I use margarine instead of butter?

Butter is preferred for flavor and texture, but you can use margarine if needed. Keep in mind the cookies might have a slightly different taste and texture.

Why do the cookies look underdone when they come out of the oven?

The cookies are intentionally slightly underbaked to keep them soft and chewy. They continue to cook a bit as they cool on the baking sheet.

Ingredients

Scale 1x2x3x

Wet Ingredients

• 1/2 cup butter (slightly softened)
• 1/2 cup brown sugar
• 1/4 cup granulated sugar
• 1 egg
• 2 tsp vanilla extract

Dry Ingredients

• 1 & 1/3 cup all-purpose flour
• 1 tbsp corn starch
• 1/2 tsp baking soda
• 1/2 tsp salt

Mix-Ins

• 2/3 cup Valentine’s Day M&M’s
• 7 Oreo cookies, roughly chopped (regular stuffed, not double stuffed)

Instructions

1. Preheat and Prepare Baking Sheet: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silpat mat to prevent sticking.
2. Cream Butter and Sugars: In a medium bowl, cream together the softened butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar using a spatula until the mixture is smooth and creamy.
3. Add Egg and Vanilla: Mix in the egg and vanilla extract thoroughly until well incorporated and the batter is smooth.
4. Combine Dry Ingredients: Gradually add the dry ingredients—flour, corn starch, baking soda, and salt—into the wet mixture. Stir just until all ingredients are combined to avoid overmixing.
5. Fold in M&M’s and Oreos: Gently fold in the chopped Oreo cookies and Valentine’s Day M&M’s, ensuring they are evenly distributed throughout the cookie dough.
6. Scoop Dough and Shape Cookies: Using a large cookie scooper (approximately 1/4 cup or 4 tablespoons), scoop out 10 equal portions of dough. Place them spaced evenly on the prepared baking sheet.
7. Bake the Cookies: Bake in the preheated oven for 13 minutes. The cookies may look slightly underdone or gooey in the middle; this is perfect as they will continue baking while cooling. Immediately after removing from the oven, use a larger cookie cutter to gently swirl each cookie to create a perfect round shape.
8. Cool Cookies: Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes, then transfer them to a wire cooling rack to cool completely.

Notes

• Use regular stuffed Oreos rather than double stuffed for best texture and balance.
• Do not overmix the dough after adding dry ingredients to avoid tough cookies.
• The cookies will look underbaked when removed but will firm up as they cool.
• You can substitute the Valentine’s Day M&M’s with regular or mini M&M’s depending on your preference.
• For a chewier cookie, you may chill the dough for 30 minutes before baking.
