How do you make Monster Cookies?
To make Monster Cookies, you add a little bit of all the goodies! Oats, Chocolate Chips, Peanut Butter, and M&Ms! You can also add coconut if you’d like! Bake cookies low and slow for soft, chewy cookies.
Baking larger cookies at a lower temperature and for a longer amount of time will help them to bake evenly. You will want to pull them out of the oven a little underdone so they don’t get over baked and turn hard.
Can you use instant oatmeal in Monster Cookies?
You can use quick oats or whole oats in this recipe, I wouldn’t use instant oatmeal if you can help it, but it may work just as well!
How to get thick, large Monster Cookies
I used a 3 Tablespoon cookie scoop like this one to get these large cookies. I love making bigger cookies and cooking them slower to get them soft and chewy. It’s nice having different size cookie scoops for different baking options!

Ingredients:
1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter (softened)
1/2 cup white granulated sugar
1/2 cup light brown sugar
1/2 cup peanut butter

1/2 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
1 1/4 cup unbleached flour
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon table salt
1 cup rolled oats
1 cup M&Ms
1/2 cup mini semi sweet chocolate chips
Directions:
Preheat the oven to 300 degrees and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Cream together butter, white sugar, and brown sugar in a mixing bowl.
Add the peanut butter, egg, and vanilla and mix well.
Stir in flour, baking soda, and salt.
Fold in oats, M&Ms, and Chocolate Chips.
Using a 3 tablespoon cookie scoop, create cookie dough balls and place them about 2” apart on the prepared cookie sheet.
Bake for 20-22 minutes or until the edges start to brown and the center is soft.
Remove from the oven and sprinkle with extra M&Ms (optional).
Let the cookies cool on the cookie sheet for 20-30 minutes for the center and chocolate to set or serve warm and gooey.
