Ingredients
Scale
Wet Ingredients
- 8 tablespoons salted butter (melted)
- 1/2 cup brown sugar
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1 large egg
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
Dry Ingredients
- 1 2/3 cups all purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
Add-ins
- 3/4 cup Valentine’s mix M&Ms
- 1/2 cup white chocolate chips
Instructions
- Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit to ensure it’s at the perfect temperature for baking cookies.
- Combine Butter and Sugars: In the bowl of a stand mixer, add the melted butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar. Beat together until the mixture is smooth and well combined.
- Add Egg and Vanilla: Beat in the large egg and vanilla extract until fully incorporated, creating a creamy batter base.
- Mix Dry Ingredients: Add the all-purpose flour, baking soda, and salt to the wet ingredients. Mix until just combined; the dough will be soft.
- Fold in Candy and Chips: Gently stir in the Valentine’s mix M&Ms and white chocolate chips, evenly distributing the colorful and creamy add-ins throughout the dough.
- Portion the Dough: Use a large cookie scoop to divide the dough into 12 equal balls, placing them on a prepared baking sheet with enough space between each.
- Bake the Cookies: Bake the cookies for exactly 10 minutes. They may look slightly underbaked when removed but will firm up as they cool.
- Cool Before Serving: Let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for at least 5 minutes to set properly before enjoying.
Notes
- Do not overbake the cookies; they should look slightly underdone to remain soft and chewy.
- Allow cookies to rest on the baking sheet after baking to set up perfectly.
- Use a large cookie scoop for uniform size and even baking.
- Store baked cookies in an airtight container to maintain freshness.
- You can substitute the Valentine’s mix M&Ms with any colorful candy or chocolate of your choice.
