Thick, chewy, and buttery Monster Cookies. They are so easy to make as no dough chilling is required, and they're loaded with peanut butter, oats, M&M's, and chocolate chips.
Ingredients
- ½ cup unsalted butter at room temperature
- ½ cup light brown sugar lightly packed
- ¼ cup granulated sugar
- 1 large egg at room temperature
- ⅔ cup creamy peanut butter not natural-style
- 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
- 1¼ cups all-purpose flour
- ½ teaspoon baking soda
- ½ cup old-fashioned rolled oats
- ½ cup M&Ms
- ½ cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
Instructions
- Preheat the oven at 375°F/190°C. Line 2 baking sheets with parchment paper or Silpat silicone baking mats, and set aside.
- In a bowl, combine the dry ingredients (flour, baking soda, and salt). Set aside.
- In a separate bowl, cream butter with the sugars until creamy. That will take about one minute on medium speed using a hand mixer. Add the egg, vanilla extract, and peanut butter and beat again until creamy (1 more minute).
- Add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, and at the lowest speed possible whip until just combined. Don't overmix as we don't want to develop any gluten here.
- Using a medium cookie scoop, scoop out balls of cookie dough then add a few more M&M's and chocolate chips to the top to decorate.
- Bake in the oven for 10 minutes. The cookies will be super soft when they're out of the oven, so avoid touching them and let them cool down until they're no longer fragile (10 minutes).
- Cool. Transfer to a cooling wire rack to cool completely.
Notes
Freezing
These monster cookies freeze very well! There are two ways to freeze them:- Freeze Unbaked. Scoop the dough into balls, place on a cookie sheet, and freeze for 2 hours. When the cookie dough is frozen solid, remove from the cookie sheet and place it in a ziptop bag. This way, you can always take out as many as you like and bake from frozen but make sure to adjust the baking time. Freeze for up to 2 months.
- Freeze Baked. After the cookies are baked and cooled completely, place them in a freezer-safe ziptop bag and freeze for up to 1 month. Before serving, let them sit at room temperature for 30 minutes or microwave for a few seconds.
