How to Serve Valentine’s Day Oreo M&M’s Cookies

Tips to Make Valentine’s Day Oreo M&M’s Cookies
- Make sure the butter is slightly softened for easy mixing.

You can customize these cookies by using different types of M&M’s or adding nuts. For a minty twist, try using Mint Oreo cookies instead of regular ones.
FAQs
1. Can I use double-stuffed Oreos in the recipe?
No, it is best to use regular stuffed Oreos since double-stuffed might make the cookies too soft.
2. How can I make the cookies chewier?
You can make the cookies chewier by using more brown sugar and less granulated sugar.
3. Can I omit the M&M’s and just use Oreos?
Yes, you can make the cookies with just Oreos for a classic cookie flavor. Just increase the amount of chopped Oreos to compensate for the missing M&M’s.
