Ingredients
  

For the cookie dough
  • 1/2 cup butter (slightly softened) Unsalted butter helps control salt.
  • 1/2 cup brown sugar
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 egg
  • 2 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1 1/3 cup 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) Chop Oreos by hand for texture.

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Preheat the oven to 350°F and line a baking sheet with parchment or a Silpat.
  2. In a medium bowl, cream the butter with brown and granulated sugar until smooth.
  3. Add the egg and vanilla, and mix until glossy and well combined.
  4. Whisk the flour, corn starch, baking soda, and salt together, then add the dry mix over the wet ingredients and stir just until combined.
  5. Fold in the Valentine's Day M&M's and chopped Oreo pieces so the dough looks confetti-speckled.
  6. Scoop with a large cookie scoop (about 1/4 cup) to make 10 equal balls, and space them on the prepared sheet.
Baking
  1. Bake for 13 minutes; the centers may look soft and gooey—edges should be lightly golden and tops set.
  2. Let cookies cool on the sheet for 5 minutes, then nudge them into rounds with a cookie cutter if desired, and transfer to a rack to finish cooling.

Notes

Chill dough 15 minutes to prevent spreading. Avoid overmixing to keep cookie texture tender. For variation, stir in a pinch of cinnamon.
