Monster Cookies
Monster Cookies pack oats, peanut butter, chocolate chips, and colorful candy-coated chocolates into thick, chewy rounds that skip the flour entirely. They take about 25 minutes from mixing bowl to cooling rack and make a large batch ideal for sharing.
Equipment
- Mixing Bowl
- Wooden spoon
- Baking sheet
- Parchment Paper
Ingredients
- 1 cup creamy peanut butter smooth variety
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1 cup brown sugar packed
- ½ cup unsalted butter softened
- 3 large eggs room temperature
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract pure
- 2 cups old-fashioned oats high quality
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1 cup mini chocolate chips semi-sweet
- 1 cup candy-coated chocolates such as M&M's
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the creamy peanut butter, granulated sugar, brown sugar, and unsalted butter. Use a wooden spoon to mix until the mixture is creamy and smooth.
- Add the eggs and vanilla extract to the mixture. Stir until well combined.
- Gradually mix in the oats and baking soda, ensuring an even distribution throughout the dough.
- Fold in the mini chocolate chips and candy-coated chocolates, stirring just until incorporated.
- Scoop tablespoon-sized balls of dough onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 10 to 12 minutes or until the edges are golden brown and the centers are set.
- Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes, then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Notes
Lori’s Tips:
- Add a pinch of cinnamon for a warm, spicy touch.
- Use crunchy peanut butter for added texture.
- For a gluten-free version, ensure oats are certified gluten-free.
- Freeze unbaked cookie dough balls for on-demand baking.
