- Butter- You can use salted or unsalted butter as long as it’s at room temperature.

Frequently asked questions – FAQ
How to store Valentine’s day m&m’s cookies
You can store these cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days. You can pop them in the microwave for a few seconds to get them all melty again before enjoying them with a tall glass of milk.
HOW TO FREEZE Valentine’s day OREO M&’M’s COOKIES?
You can free them in an air-tight container or a freezer bag/ziplock bag for up to 2 months.
Thaw in the fridge overnight or pop them in the microwave for a few seconds before enjoying.
WHY ARE MY COOKIES NOT SPREADING?
If your cookies aren’t spread, you might’ve added too much flour. Make sure to measure your flour properly to keep them from not spreading.
Use the scoop and level method or a kitchen scale preferably.
HELP, MY COOKIES ARE SPREADING TOO MUCH!
This recipe is made with regular Oreos so make sure not to use double Stuff Oreos. The extra filling in the cookie will mix with the cookie dough and make the cookies spread too much.
CAN I MAKE AN ICE CREAM SANDWICH WITH THESE COOKIES?
You sure can! They are large and in charge, perfect for holding together your favorite ice cream in the center. My tip would be to underbake them a little if you are trying to make ice cream sandwiches with them to keep them soft and chewy.
HOW TO MAKE GLUTEN FREE Valentine’s day OREO M&M’s COOKIES?
With this recipe, all you would have to do is use 1:1 gluten-free flour and gluten-free Oreos to transform it. Thank God they’re so easily accessible nowadays at most grocery stores.

These cookies were spectacular and so easy to make. I ended up using mini oreos and crushing them up a little and they were perfect (because the store was all out of regular stuffed oreos!). I brought them to work as a Valentine’s treat and they were a huge hit. They were so soft and chewy and tasted like I bought them at a bakery. Can’t wait for an excuse to make them again!
I’m so glad you liked it!
