This recipe is perfect for those heart-shaped baking pans you always see in the Valentine section of the supermarket or discount department store. The amount of batter is roughly half of the normal bar cookie recipes. Pink, red, and white M&M's® make it sweetheart-special, but you can always use regular M&M's® or your favorite chocolate chips. Wrap the cooled cookie in plastic or return to pan for serving.

Ingredients

  • cooking spray:
  • unsalted butter: 0.5 cup (softened)
  • white sugar: 0.5 cup
  • firmly packed brown sugar: 0.25 cup
  • egg: 1 piece
  • vanilla extract: 0.25 tsp
  • all-purpose flour: 1 cup (or more if needed)
  • salt: 0.25 tsp
  • baking soda: 0.25 tsp
  • candy-coated milk chocolate pieces (such as M&M's®): 1 cup (to taste)

  4. Whisk flour, salt, and baking soda together in a small bowl. Add flour mixture into the batter; stir until thick but spreadable, about 100 strokes. Fold in milk chocolate pieces gently. Pour batter into the prepared pan; spread evenly with a spatula, leaving a 1-inch margin from the sides.

  5. Bake in the middle shelf of the preheated oven until edges are golden brown and middle is set, 18 to 23 minutes. Press any remaining milk chocolate pieces into the still-warm cookie for decoration.
