Description

These Monster Cookies are the ultimate crowd-pleasing treat, combining the best elements of peanut butter cookies and oatmeal raisin cookies into one giant, delicious bite. Packed with creamy peanut butter, soft rolled oats, rich chocolate chips, and fun M&Ms, they offer a perfect balance of sweet and salty flavors with a satisfyingly chewy texture. The addition of corn syrup ensures they stay moist and tender even after cooling. Ideal for potlucks, bake sales, or just a comforting snack, these cookies are easy to mix and bake. They bring a playful, homemade feel to any occasion and are sure to disappear quickly from the plate.

Ingredients

Directions

  1. Preheat oven to 350&# 194;°F (175ðC) and line baking sheets with parchment paper or lightly grease them.
  2. In a large bowl, cream together the butter and sugar until light and fluffy.
  3. Beat in the eggs, peanut butter, vanilla extract, and corn syrup until well combined and smooth.
  4. In a separate small bowl, mix together the baking soda and salt.
  5. Add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, stirring until just incorporated.
  6. Fold in the oats, chocolate chips, and M&Ms until evenly distributed throughout the dough.
  7. Scoop dough using a 1/4 cup measure or large cookie scoop, dropping mounds about 4 inches apart on the prepared baking sheets.
  8. Gently press each mound into a 3 1/2-inch circle with your fingertips to flatten slightly.
  9. Bake for 12 to 15 minutes, or until the edges are set but the centers are still slightly soft.
  10. Allow cookies to cool on the baking sheets for 5 minutes before transferring them to wire racks to cool completely.

Note

Storage: Store cooled cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days. For longer storage, freeze the baked cookies for up to 3 months.

Substitutions: You can substitute creamy peanut butter with crunchy for extra texture. If you prefer a sweeter cookie, use dark brown sugar instead of white sugar.

Tip: Do not overbake these cookies, as they will continue to firm up as they cool. If you like them crispier, bake for an additional 2-3 minutes.

Variation: Try adding raisins, dried cranberries, or butterscotch chips for different flavor profiles.
