    The other day I was going to a girls Valentines Day party. I made cupcakes but wanted some cookies too. I almost made my version of Perfect Chocolate Chip Cookies but I wanted something new, something different. This is how OTT cookies were born.

    Over The Top Cookies!

    These cookies are that. Brown butter, milk chocolate chips, corn flakes, caramel bits, M&Ms and swirls of peanut butter.

    I am not a huge peanut butter fan and most cookies that have peanut butter in them are chock full of peanut butter flavor. These have hints of peanut butter but it is not over powering. Perfect for me 🙂

    I used Valentine colored M&M's but obvi you could use any color of M&M's any time of the year! 🙂

    I pressed the M&M's into the dough after the dough was rolled out and put on the baking sheet.

    You will enjoy these over the top cookies 🙂

    Happy Valentine's Day! Hope you all have a fabulous & magical day!
