    Hope you love these perfect Valentines cookies like I do!

    You all know I love cookies- no surprise!  But these are the most delicious have ever made.

    They are a trifecta of deliciousness.

    Chocolate. M&Ms. Sprinkles. (and they are chewy- soooo good!)

    Why are they dangerous? Because I make them and I want to eat ALL. OF. THEM. So, I take a few, then quickly package them up to share with friends or my husband’s coworkers.

    These cookies are chewy and soft and extra delicious with the M&Ms!

    Other cookies that I am currently loving:

    • S’mores Cookies (both stuffed and non-stuffed!)
    • Hot Cocoa Cookies
    • Mini Chocolate Chip Cookies
    • Chocolate Sugar Cookies

    I just can’t express how much I love these M&M cookies. But enough already let’s make them!

    The perfect Valentine's Day Cookie!

    How to make easy Valentine cookies:

    • Heat your oven and line a baking sheet or two with parchment paper
    • Whip up your butter and then cream with the sugar
    • Add in eggs and espresso powder then the flour, cocoa, salt, and baking soda
    • Mix in the M&Ms
    • Scoop the cookie dough into balls then roll sprinkles.
    • Bake for 9-11 minutes or until just done.
    • Enjoy!!

    These really are such simple cookies- and yet so pretty!

    What kind of sprinkles do I use for these easy Valentine Cookies?

    I buy a variety of sprinkles (usually from Walmart) and then go to town mixing them.

    I love sprinkles!

    Are these good without sprinkles?

    Absolutely. I just love sprinkles and wanted to make these for a Valentine’s treat so I used pink and red sprinkles. Just as Chocolate M&M cookies they are quite tasty.

    When making these without sprinkles I like to press a few extra M&Ms on top of the cookies before baking so they stand out!

    This recipe is actually a variation of my chewy chocolate cookie recipe- so you can check that out if you don't want M&Ms or sprinkles.

    Even without sprinkles these are delicious!

    How to store cookies:

    Once cooled store in an airtight container for up to a week- but I bet you they will be eaten way before that!

    Can I freeze the dough?

    Yep! Scoop your dough, form into balls, roll in the sprinkles then place in a freezer zip lock baggie and freeze until ready to use- freeze for up to 2 months!

    When ready to bake, preheat oven, take your cookie dough from the freezer place on a baking sheet and bake! No need to thaw. The cookies will most likely need a minute or two extra while baking.

    There you have it- the best easy chocolate cookie that’s perfect for Valentine’s Day!

    Put these cookies in a baggie and give them as Valentines Gifts!

    As a side note- are you a fan of sprinkles? I feel like people either love or hate them. I love them- my husband not so much.
