The Greatest Monster Cookies

I've been seeing Monster cookies recipe all over Pinterest so I thought I would give them a try and here is what I came up with.

A Monster Cookie that is packed with peanut butter, oatmeal, lots of chocolate chips, not to mention peanut butter chips, and those cute little M&M baking bits. These giant cookies are not only big in size but also big in taste.

What You Need To Make Monster Cookies

  • butter~ at room temperature
  • brown sugar
  • creamy peanut butter
  • vanilla extract
  • baking soda
  • cornstarch
  • baking powder
  • salt
  • flour
  • quick oats
  • M&M's
  • peanut butter morsels
  • chocolate morsels
  • mini chocolate morsels
A hand mixer mixing the batter to Monster cookies.

In a large bowl or your stand mixer bowl add the softened butter and brown sugar cream together until they are completely combined.

Using softened butter when baking cookies helps to cream the butter with the sugar better. Plus it helps to hold the shape of the cookies better. Using melted butter will make the cookies more flatter.

Baking soda, cornstarch, and salt being added into the batter for these big cookies.

Next, add the baking soda, cornstarch, baking powder, and salt. Mix until these are combined.

Eggs being added to a butter and brown sugar mixture for cookies.

Add the eggs one at a time and mix until combined. Whenever using eggs I like to crack them into a small bowl before adding to the recipe I'm making. This way it will be easier to get an egg shell out if it ends up in with the egg.

I also like to crack my eggs on a flat surface to help with minimizing the eggshell breakage.

Flour being added to the cookies batter.

Slowly add the flour into the batter. I like to add a little at a time and get that all incorporated before I add more.

Sifting flour before adding it into my batter has also been a habit of mine for some time. Sifting the flour makes the flour a little airy making the cookies a little fluffer as well.

The batter as it is getting quick oats added to it.

Next, you mix in the quick oats. You can use your mixer if you like. Or you can mix the quick outs by hand. Since the batter gets thick, I find that mixing by hand a little does help to make sure all is mixed together.

Adding The Candies

When I had all the oats are combined I then added all the goodies that make this Monster Cookies recipe. The more goodies into these cookies the better.

Chocolate, peanut butter morsels and M&M's in the batter to these giant cookies.

I like to add chocolate morsels, peanut butter morsels, mini chocolate morsels, and M&M's. Toffee bites would be another great ingredient to add to this giant cookies recipe.

Whenever I make cookies, I always use an ice cream scoop, I feel that a 1-inch ice cream scooper makes the perfect size cookie. Plus using a cookie scoop makes each cookie the same size. As these giant cookies bake they will flatten out some on their own.

They need to bake in a 350℉ oven for 13-20 minutes, depending on your oven and the size of your cookies. If you are just starting out baking then click over to Baker's Dozen for some more great baking tips and tricks.
