Monster Cookies
These monster cookies are soft, chewy, and loaded with oats, peanut butter, M&Ms, and chocolate chips!
Ingredients
- 5 tablespoons (71g) unsalted butter
- 1/3 cup (73g) light brown sugar
- 2 tablespoons (25g) granulated sugar
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 large egg yolk (room temperature)
- 1 tablespoon (16g) creamy peanut butter
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 cup + 1 tablespoon (72g) all-purpose flour
- 1/4 cup (20g) old-fashioned oats
- 2 tablespoons (20g) mini semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 2 tablespoons (20g) mini M&M's (plus more for topping)
Instructions
- Microwave butter in heatproof bowl for 30 seconds on high until full melted. Allow to cool for a few minutes. Add brown sugar and granulated sugar and mix until combined.
- Add vanilla extract, egg yolk, and peanut butter and mix until combined.
- Add salt, baking soda, flour, and oats and mix until just combined. There should still be some streaks of flour visible. Stir in chocolate chips and M&M's.
- Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Scoop out 12 cookies using a #40 (1.5 tablespoon) cookie scoop. Add 3-4 M&M's on top of each cookie dough. Gently press them into the dough so they don't fall of when transferring them. Refrigerate dough for 30 minutes.
- Preheat oven to 350° F. Bake for 11-12 minutes. Allow to cool slightly before serving.
Notes
As soon as the cookies come out of the oven I like to give them a scoot with a cookie cutter to make them into a perfectly round cookie.
You can easily turn these into 6 larger cookies. Scoop out 6 cookies using a #20 cookie scoop (3 tablespoon). Add an extra 2-3 minutes to the bake time.
