Welcome back to Cookie Monday! This week we are making an oldie but a goodie! – Monster cookies! The “new age” everything cookie is called “kitchen sink” cookies, but Monster cookies will always be my favorite. I loved these cookies as a child and when I made them for Christmas last year, I decided I need to add them to the regular rotation! Why only enjoy your favorites one time of year?!
Bill of Materials:
½ C Butter
1 ¼ C Brown Sugar
1 C Sugar
3 Eggs
¼ t Vanilla
2 t Baking soda
2 C Peanut Butter
4 ½ C Oatmeal
½ C Chocolate Chips
½ C M&Ms
Since I am in the process of cleaning out my pantry (check out my other pantry clean out cookies), I decided to use up some leftover M&Ms from Christmas (Tip: sort the colors and use red for valentines and the green for St Patricks’ day). Since these cookies are just for myself, I don’t care if they are green. I’m keeping the red ones for the Fourth of July! Comment below – I want to know if and how you use out of season items?
First, cream the sugars, butter, and vanilla. I used to not cream my sugar and butter and throw everything into the bowl at once, but I have learned that it really does make a difference. Please cream your sugar and butter!
Then add the eggs and baking soda. Then add the peanut butter and oats. Once this is mixed, add the M&Ms and Chocolate Chips.
Bake at 350 degrees for about 12 minutes – don’t over bake these cookies, otherwise they will dry out!
