Frequently asked questions – FAQ

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.

we loved these cookies at valentines so much that I’m going to make some with mini eggs instead of m&ms today 😋

I love Oreos and m&ms, so I was excited to find this recipe. I followed it exactly and they turned out great 😊! My whole family loved them! Thank you for sharing!😋

You’re very welcome 🙂

Wonderful recipe! Turned out great!

Delicious, so fun to make, and gorgeous! I made a double recipe. They don’t spread too much which is great. I do want to say though that the nutrition facts are NOT accurate. Obviously we’re eating these for fun not nutrition, but if you look at the nutrition facts it’s misleading. I used a calorie counting app and entered in the exact amount and type of ingredients used and correct yield for those ingredients and ended up with one cookie being 395 calories. I added 4 extra Oreos for the topping, so if you didn’t then they’d be 375 cals each. Don’t let it keep you from enjoying ‘em, but just something to note!
Chahinez
Sorry about that, and thank you for the feedback. I’m still glad you enjoyed them 🙂
Keshia D
Hi! I followed the exact ingredients and both time they were a fail. I am not sure what i did wrong. Any suggestions?
Chahinez
One of the most common mistake I see with this recipe is either not weighing your ingredients with a kitchen scale or using double stuff Oreos!
Lisa
Obsessed with this recipe !! I Have made these cookies several times and everyone loves them . Thank you for sharing your amazing recipes .
Chahinez

haven’t made these yet. I have never uses corn starch in cookies before. what’s the purpose? just curious
Chahinez
Cornstarch is often used in cookie recipes to help create a softer, more tender texture. It can also help cookies hold their shape and prevent spreading during baking. The cornstarch absorbs moisture and inhibits gluten formation, resulting in a more delicate crumb. It’s a common ingredient in recipes where a softer, more cake-like texture is desired. If you decide to try it, you may notice a difference in the texture of your cookies!
Brittany Allen
Really great recipe ! We made these for Valentine’s Day and quickly realized we needed to double it because we didn’t have enough
Chahinez
Thank you! I’m glad y’all enjoyed the recipe!😁
Pamela Ihle
I doubled recipe and reduced sugar by 1/2 cup total for double recipe. I think I could reduce more as they are plenty sweet. mine came out a little cake which I don’t like, but they taste great.
Chahinez
I’m glad you liked it!
Roxana
Cookies where beyond delicious! My friends keep wanting more and so did my husband! I made the 3x batch and I didn’t have a scoop so I used a 1/4 cup to make them, they had a nice thick size, still soft and gooey in the center! Definitely a heavenly treat!!
Chahinez
OMG that’s awesome! I’m glad y’all enjoyed them 😁
Nadia
I forgot about the Oreos at the store so mine were chocolate chip and m&ms but nonetheless this recipe is amazing. The consistency is perfect tender on the inside and lightly crisp on the outside. Making them again tonight the correct way!
Chahinez
I’m glad you enjoyed the recipe!😊
Shelby
Loved making these fun valentines cookies with my five year old daughter. These cookies are the right amount of sweet!
Chahinez
That’s awesome! I’m glad y’all enjoyed it!😁
Julie
Another delicious and easy recipes. Whipped these up this morning, doubled the batch. The Oreos & m&m’s are a delicious combo! Make them for your favorites for Valentines Day.
Michele
My husband and coworkers really enjoyed this cookie! I made using regular Oreos and then a batch of golden Oreos for my husband. Used a smaller scoop to get 12 cookies instead of 10, but they were still more than a decent size! The ratio to cookie, m&m’s, and Oreos is perfect. Some people thought they were a little too sweet, so I’ll remember not to share with them next time…hahaha just kidding LOL
Val
I have made countless “chocolate chip” cookies recipes and these are the best I’ve EVER made! They are so yummy and beautiful! I’m saving these for my new base recipe!
Chahinez
I’m glad you liked the recipe!
Kelli
So good! Can make for any holiday using different colored m&ms. I mixed in the Oreos, choc chips and m&ms with the mixer to incorporate! Fantastic. Using the cookie scoop is perfect. Definitely a keeper!
Chahinez
That’s awesome! I’m glad you like the recipe!😁
