Monster Cookies
Ingredients
1 cup sugar
1 cup packed light brown sugar
½ cup unsalted butter, at room temperature
3 large eggs
1 ½ cups peanut butter
1 tbsp vanilla extract
2 tsp baking soda
½ tsp salt
4 ½ cups oats (Old Fashioned or Quick)
1 cup mini M&Ms
1 cup mini-chocolate chips
Directions
1
Preheat the oven to 350°F. Line two baking sheets with parchment paper or Silpat baking mats.
2
In the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, cream together the sugar, brown sugar, and butter until light and fluffy.
3
Beat in the eggs, one at a time, and then beat in the peanut butter, vanilla, baking soda, and salt until well combined.
4
Add the oats and mix until combined, then add the mini M&Ms and mini-chocolate chips.
5
Scoop 2-to 3-tablespoon mounds of the dough onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing the mounds at least 2 inches apart.
6
Bake the cookies for 12-15 minutes then remove them from the oven and allow them to cool for 5 minutes on the baking sheets before transferring them to a rack to cool completely.
NOTE
7
The best way to guarantee your cookies are chewy and not too crispy is to underbake them slightly then remove them from the oven and allow them to cool for 5 to 10 minutes on the baking sheets.
