I posted these monster cookies on Instagram and got so many requests for the recipe. When I made these I thought for sure they would be good, but I didn’t realize just how good they really were. My family went crazy for these and they were gone in two days…no joke. The mix of peanut butter, oats, candy coated chocolate and the chocolate chunks is truly the best. Scroll down to get the recipe for monster cookies!
Monster Cookie Recipe
For this recipe you could mix up the chocolate pieces with mini chocolate coated candies, mini chocolate chips or milk chocolate chips. You could also make these cookies seasonal with seasonal chocolate candy coated pieces for Valentine’s Day, Christmas or Halloween. I used a large muffin scoop for scooping the dough, but you could also make these cookies smaller if you prefer.
My biggest tip for making these cookies is making sure you don’t over bake them. They might not look like they’re done, but trust me after the edges are slightly golden they are done. You don’t want to over bake these!
Monster Cookies
Ingredients
- 1/2 cup Salted Butter
- 1/2 cup Sugar
- 1/2 cup Light Brown Sugar
- 1/2 cup Smooth Peanut Butter
- 1 Egg At room temperature
- 1 tsp Vanilla Extract
- 1 cup All-Purpose Flour
- 1 1/4 cups Old-Fashioned Rolled Oats
- 1/4 tsp Salt
- 1/2 tsp Baking Soda
- 1/2 tsp Baking Powder
- 3/4 cup Candy Coated Chocolates
- 1/4 cup Chocolate Chunks
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350 degrees F. Prepare a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
- In a stand mixer or with a hand mixer, cream the butter and sugars together. Mix until the butter and sugar are both light and fluffy.
- Add the smooth peanut butter, egg and vanilla extract and mix these ingredients with the butter and sugar.
- In a medium sized bowl mix the dry ingredients including the flour, oats, baking powder, baking soda and salt. Add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients. I like to add it a quarter at a time making sure the ingredients are mixed together.
- Stir in the candy coated chocolates and the chocolate chunks to the cookie dough. Use a muffin scoop to scoop the dough onto your prepared baking sheet.
- Bake the cookies for 10-15 minutes or until just brown around the edges. Allow the cookies to cool for a few minutes before transfering them to a drying rack to cool completely.
