How to Make Valentine M&M Cookies
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line your baking sheets with parchment paper.
- In a mixing bowl, cream the softened unsalted butter with both brown sugar and granulated sugar until light and fluffy, about 2 minutes.
- Beat in the eggs one at a time, ensuring they are well combined before adding the next. Stir in the vanilla extract.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking soda, baking powder, and salt. Gradually add the dry mixture to the wet ingredients.
- Gently fold in the M&Ms, saving a few to place on top of the cookies.
- Drop rounded tablespoons of cookie dough onto prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
- Bake for 9-11 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown. Let cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack.
Notes
For extra flair, press additional M&Ms on top right after baking for a colorful finish.
