Christmas Monster Cookies
You can make these any time of year, but I used the Christmas M&M's to make them a Christmas cookie!
Ingredients
- 1½ cups peanut butter
- 1 cup packed brown sugar
- 1 cup granulated white sugar
- ½ cup (1 stick) butter, at room temperature
- 3 large eggs
- 1 tablespoon vanilla extract
- 4½ cup oats
- 2 teaspoons baking soda
- 1 cup chocolate chips
- 1 cup holiday M&M's
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350℉. Line baking sheets with parchment paper or silpat mats.
- In a large bowl, combine the peanut butter with the sugars and butter. Use an electric mixer to mix until well combined. Mix in the eggs and vanilla. Mix in the oats and baking soda. Then stir in the chips and M&M's.
- Drop the cookies by heaping spoonfuls onto the prepared cookie sheets. If you'd like your cookies to look pretty (like the photos), dot a few extra M&M's on each mound of dough before baking.
- Bake 10 to 12 minutes. Do not over-bake. Cool for 5 minutes on cookie sheets until cookies are set. Transfer to wire racks; cool completely before storing in an airtight container.
Notes
- *If you are preparing this cookie as gluten-free, just be sure to make sure you are using brands of the following items that are known to be GF: peanut butter, vanilla, oats, chocolate chips and M&M's.
- *If you'd prefer to make giant cookies, use an ice cream scoop instead to scoop the dough onto the cookie sheet. They'll need to bake for 18 to 20 minutes, and you'll end up with about 22 cookies.
