Ingredients:
- 100 grams of softened butter
- 1/2 cup of brown sugar
- 1/4 cup of white sugar
- 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract
- 1 egg
- 1 and 1/4 cups of flour
- 1/2 teaspoon of baking soda
- 1/4 teaspoon of salt
- 10 crushed Oreo cookies
- 170 grams of M&M chocolates
Instructions:
- Remove the butter from the refrigerator at least an hour before preparation to soften, or warm it in the microwave for about 10 seconds until just soft.
- In a bowl, combine the softened butter with both sugars (brown and white) until well mixed.
- Stir in the vanilla extract and egg, blending until smooth.
- Gradually add the flour, baking soda, and salt to the mixture, stirring until the dough is uniform.
- Fold in the crushed Oreo cookies and M&M chocolates until evenly distributed.
- Shape the dough into heart forms on a baking sheet, spacing them well apart to allow for spreading during baking. If you wish to maintain the heart shape, freeze the dough shapes for an hour before baking.
- Preheat the oven to 175°C (347°F) with convection setting (if available).
- Bake the cookies for 12-15 minutes, or until they are just set and slightly golden around the edges.
- Allow the cookies to cool for a few minutes on the baking sheet, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
Enjoy these playful and delicious heart-shaped cookies with Oreos and M&Ms as a treat for yourself or share them with loved ones!
