Monster Cookies

My kid brother loves Monster cookies and when we were younger I would make them for him every year. He was a bit spoiled after all he was just 14 years younger than me. I had great time with my kid brother and now still love to visit him and his children. I hope to do that again sometime soon




1 1/2 cups creamy peanut butter
8 Tbsp (1 stick) unsalted butter, softened
1 cup packed light brown sugar
1 cup granulated white sugar
3 large eggs
1 Tbsp vanilla extract
4 1/2 cups old fashioned oats
2 tsp baking soda
1/2 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
1/2 cup peanut butter ships
1 cup plain M&M's
Preheat oven to 350°F. Line cookies sheets with parchment paper, or spray cookie sheets with non-stick cooking spray.

In standing mixer with paddle attachment, cream the peanut butter, butter and sugars. Add eggs and vanilla, and mix until well combined. Add oats and baking soda, and mix until well combined. Add chips and M&M's, and stir until well combined.

Drop the cookies by tablespoonfuls (I use a tablespoon size cookie scoop) onto prepared cookie sheets. (Note: I dropped cookies onto wax paper lined cookie sheets and froze them for a couple weeks before baking).

Bake 10 to 12 minutes. Cool for 5 minutes on cookie sheets then transfer to wire racks to cool completely. Makes about 4 dozen cookies.

  7. Your cookie recipe sounds so good! I love peanut butter cookies. My teens are about a decade apart from my younger children. I always think about when they are older how I hope they stay very close as they are now.
