Valentine Chocolate Chip Cookies

Valentine Chocolate Chip Cookies are soft, chewy, deliciously buttery cookie recipe loaded with M&M’s. Great for giving to your sweetie this Valentine’s Day

Do you ever create a little something that you just CAN’T WAIT to share? It actually happens to me quite often. The other day I made these Valentine Chocolate Chip Cookies that are just to die for!!!

Valentine Chocolate Chip Cookies

I have been playing with my chocolate chip cookie recipes for a while trying to create the “perfect” cookie. The first round I made of these particular Valentine cookies took nearly all my valentine M&M’s & they didn’t turn out photo worthy. They tasted great – but they weren’t the whole package if you know what I mean. The perfect cookie to me has to have it all.

Chewy, soft with a little crisp on the edges, perfectly golden & just the right amount of puff without being cakey. This batch is 100% all of those things. I think I have finally created “THE” recipe & I’m so thrilled to share it with you all.

Valentine Chocolate Chip Cookies

These are INCREDIBLE! All the things I listed above & then the cute little Valentine colors – swoon.

Valentine Chocolate Chip Cookies

They keep well- like 2 days later they were still soft. I can’t tell you beyond that because they didn’t last that long.

 

 

To make this recipe you will need…

  • butter
  • margarine
  • brown sugar
  • granulated sugar
  • vanilla extract
  • egg
  • all-purpose flour scooped lightly
  • instant vanilla pudding – not cook & serve
  • baking soda
  • salt
  • semi-sweet chocolate chips
  • white chocolate chips
  • Valentine M&M’s

 

 

Valentine Chocolate Chip Cookies

I mean, I’m pretty picky about cookies. I like them fresh – like still hot fresh.

Then through that evening I may have a couple more. Beyond that- I rarely indulge because the freshness is gone.

Valentine Chocolate Chip Cookies

I like that crunch of the M&M when it’s still melty inside. Once it firms up – it’s not as enjoyable for me.

These were so good – I didn’t even notice that the M&M’s chocolate had hardened inside.

 

 

HOW DO YOU MAKE Valentine Chocolate Chip Cookies?

  1. In mixer bowl – beat butter, margarine, sugar & brown sugar together until fluffy.
  2. Add egg & vanilla – beat well.
  3. Add in flour, pudding mix, baking soda & salt – slowly stir first & then beat until all ingredients are completely incorporated.
  4. Slowly stir in chocolate & white chocolate chips.
  5. Fold in 1/2 the M&M’s.
  6. Remove beater, cover & refrigerate overnight (extremely important that you do this).
  7. The next day preheat oven to 350 degrees.
  8. Roll dough into balls – it will be firm & you will need to press it all together.
  9. Place the dough balls on a baking sheet & bake cookies for 9-12 minutes (mine were perfect at 11).
  10. Remove & immediately top each cookie with a few extra chocolate chips, white chocolate chips & M&M’s before they cool.
  11. Leave cookies on baking sheet to cool.
  12. Repeat this process with remaining cookies.
  13. I used 3-3/4 baking sheets for all these cookies.
  14. Store in an airtight container at room temperature

 

 

I had a hard time walking away from the bowl.

That was when I knew this could be THE ONE recipe that I abandon all others for.

    I get that feeling of wanting to share something asap, but what about wanting to make something asap, like these cookies! They look really soft which I must have in a cookie, and I know my cookie monster husband would devour them asap!

    Hi, Gina! How cute are these cookies? 1 question, though: both butter and margarine are listed in the ingredients, but only butter is mentioned in the directions. Just wanted to make sure that both are used. Thanks!

    My kids thoroughly enjoy M&Ms, so I guess if I make these I’ll get the mommy of Valentine’s Day award. Hmmmm…tempting…may just have to do that!

    Thanks for sharing at Inspire Me Mondays!
