Monster Cookies

Ah, monster cookies! The perfect combination of cookie, peanut butter, oats, chocolate chips and M&Ms. I LOVE these cookies. They are huge, chewy, soft in the center but with crisp edges - they are to die for.

Ingredients
 

  • 2 ½ cups (313 grams) all purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • ½ teaspoon baking soda
  • 1 cup (226 grams) unsalted butter room temperature
  • 1 ½ cups (300 grams) brown sugar
  • ½ cup (100 grams) granulated sugar
  • 1 cup (260 grams) creamy peanut butter all natural works best
  • 2 eggs room temperature
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
  • 1 cup (85 grams) oats quick or old fashioned oats work!
  • ¾ cup (135 grams) chocolate chips
  • 1 cup (200 grams) M&Ms

Instructions

  • In a medium-sized bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder and baking soda. Set aside.
  • In a medium-sized bowl if using a handheld mixer or in the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, beat together the unsalted butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar on medium-high speed until light and fluffy. About 2-3 minutes. Add the peanut butter and beat on medium speed until well combined.
  • Add the eggs and vanilla extract and mix on low speed until combined, scraping down the sides and bottom of the bowl if necessary.
  • Add the all purpose flour, baking powder and baking soda and mix on low speed until a dough forms. Add the oats and fold until evenly incorporated throughout the dough. Add the chocolate chips and M&Ms and fold until evenly incorporated. Cover & chill the dough for 1-2 hours.
  • Once the dough is almost done chilling, preheat your oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit (191 degrees Celsius) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Roll the dough into large balls (approximately 4 tablespoons) and place them 3-4 inches apart on the baking sheet.
  • Bake for 14-15 minutes until the cookies are set and golden brown on the edges. Let cool on the pan for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely or enjoy slightly warm.
