Monster Cookies
These peanut butter Monster Cookies are slightly crisp on the outside, and soft and chewy in the center. They are loaded with oats, peanut butter, M&M candies and chocolate chips and they’re completely addicting!
Ingredients
- ½ cup butter
- ½ cup granulated sugar
- ½ cup light brown sugar
- ½ cup peanut butter
- 1 egg
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1¼ cups old-fashioned rolled oats
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- ½ teaspoon baking powder
- ½ teaspoon baking soda
- ¾ cup M&M candies
- ½ cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
- Cream the butter and sugar together really well, until light and fluffy.
- Add peanut butter and mix well. Add egg and vanilla and mix.
- In a separate mixing bowl stir together the flour, oats, salt, baking powder and baking soda.
- Add to the wet mixture and mix to combine. Stir in chocolate chips and M&M’s.
- Bake at 350 degrees for 10-12 minutes, or a little longer if you make them bigger than a 1 inch cookie scoop. Don't over bake--they will look just set.
- Remove them from the oven and allow them to cool on the pan for 10 minutes before removing to a wire cooling rack.
