Easy White Chocolate Chip M&M Valentine's Day Cookies

Making cookies from scratch is much simpler than you may think. The ingredients are pantry staples that combine to make a sweet amalgamation of scratch-made goodness. When you begin with the freshest of ingredients homemade cookie dough will keep in a tightly sealed container chilled for up to 5 days and frozen for up to 3 months. It's not only delicious but, makes it an ideal choice for make ahead baking preparation.

How to Make the Best White Chocolate Chip M&M Valentine's Day Cookies

• Ingredients you'll need to make homemade White Chocolate Chip M&M Valentine's Day Cookies: Butter, light brown sugar, granulated sugar, large eggs, all purpose flour, baking soda, salt, vanilla extract, Valentine's Day M&M's and white chocolate baking chips.
• Kitchen tools you'll need: A stand mixer or a hand mixer, measuring cups and spoons, medium bowl, large bowl, rubber spatula, cookie scoop or small ice cream scoop and baking sheets.
• Don't skip softening the butter. When you bring the butter to room temperature and allow it to soften it ensures the butter will blend evenly with the remaining ingredients. Cold butter will not blend properly and will cause the cookies to bake unevenly. Salted or unsalted butter will work but, I typically bake with salted for the best flavor profile.
• Add the white chocolate chips to the batter first, and mix through thoroughly before adding the M&M's. By doing this, the coating on the M&M's will be less likely to crush and break.
• After removing from the oven immediately press additional M&M's onto each cookie. The warm cookies should melt the coating just enough to stick.
• Gently reshape any oddly shaped cookies while warm. You can do this using the side of an offset spatula gently pushing toward the center of the cookie to make the shape more uniform.
• Allow the cookies to cool on the pan for at least 5 minutes before removing to a cooling rack to cool completely.
• Store White Chocolate Chip M&M Valentine's Day Cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 4 days. Pour a tall glass of milk and enjoy.
• You can also freeze this cookie dough for up to 3 months.
