These easy Valentine Cookies are soft, chewy and simply the best! Roll them in sprinkles, add some M&Ms and you have a Valentine’s cookie that you won’t be able to stop munching on!
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.

Notes
- I like to cube my butter so it’s easier/faster for the mixer to whip up.
- I buy a few different sprinkles from the store and then mix them together
