Can I make Valentine Oreo M&M Cookies ahead of time?

Yes, you can prepare the dough a day in advance. Keeping it chilled helps the cookies bake thicker and prevents overspreading. You can also freeze dough balls and bake them later without thawing.

Why did my cookies spread too much?

Cookies often spread when the butter is too soft or the flour is under-measured. Chilling the dough helps, and making sure you level your flour keeps the texture balanced.

Can I freeze baked Valentine Oreo M&M Cookies?

Once cooled, store them in freezer-safe bags for up to three months. They thaw quickly at room temperature and stay soft with their chewy Oreo texture.

Can I use different types of Oreos or M&Ms?

Yes, you can swap in flavored Oreos or seasonal M&Ms without changing the recipe. These variations bring new flavor twists and help you enjoy the recipe year-round.

How do I keep the cookies soft after baking?

Store them in an airtight container with a small piece of bread or a marshmallow. This keeps moisture inside and preserves the chewy texture of the Valentine Oreo M&M Cookies.
