Categories     Cookies

Time 45m

Number Of Ingredients 10

1 1/2 cups creamy or chunky peanut butter (that's one full 16-ounce jar minus 1/4 cup)
2 1/2 cups packed coconut sugar or 2 cups lightly packed brown sugar
1/3 cup melted coconut oil or 5 tablespoons melted butter
3 large eggs
2 teaspoons baking soda
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
2 1/2 cups quick-cooking oats or old-fashioned oats (certified gluten-free if necessary)
3/4 cup bittersweet chocolate chips
3/4 cup candy-coated chocolates (like M&M's) or additional chocolate chips
Optional: flaky sea salt, for sprinkling

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit. Line tw0 large, rimmed baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone mats for easy clean-up.
  • In a large mixing bowl, combine the peanut butter with the sugar and coconut oil. Use an electric mixer or a large spoon to mix until well combined. Add the eggs, baking soda and vanilla, and mix well. Add the oats and chocolate chips and mix until they're evenly incorporated.
  • Working with an ice cream scoop or 1/4 cup measuring cup, drop the cookies onto the prepared baking sheets. These cookies spread while baking, so leave several inches around each (I can bake six at a time). If they are irregularly shaped at the base, gently shape them into a more rounded mound. If you'd like your cookies to look extra pretty, dot a few extra M&M's and chocolate chips on each mound of dough before baking.
  • Bake 10 to 12 minutes, until they're just starting to turn golden around the edges. Do not overbake. Let the cookies cool for 10 minutes before transferring to a cooling rack. In the meantime, bake your next six cookies, and so on.
  • If desired, sprinkle the cookies lightly with flaky sea salt. Let them cool completely before storing them in an airtight container. Cookies will keep well for several days at room temperature.

THE BEST MONSTER COOKIES



The BEST Monster Cookies image

There are about as many variations of Monster Cookie recipes as there are bakers who bake them. We tested 5 key variables and tried several different ways to figure out how to make the BEST Monster Cookies around. -- And believe me, these super tasty beauties do not disappoint.

Categories     Cookies & Bars

Time 40m

Yield About 32-34 cookies

Number Of Ingredients 13

1 c. brown sugar
1 c. granulated sugar
1/2 c. unsalted butter, softened
1 1/2 c. peanut butter
3 eggs
2 tsp. vanilla extract
2 tsp. baking soda
1/4 tsp. salt
1/2 c. all-purpose flour
4 1/2 c. quick oats
1 c. semi-sweet chocolate chips
3/4 c. M&Ms
additional chocolate chips and M&Ms for cookie tops

Steps:

  • In a large mixing bowl, beat together brown sugar, granulated sugar, butter, and peanut butter with an electric mixer at medium speed until well mixed and fluffy.
  • Add eggs and vanilla; continue to beat until well combined.
  • In a smaller bowl, combine flour, baking soda, and salt. Add to peanut butter mixture and mix until just combined.
  • Add quick oats and mix until just combined.
  • By hand, stir in chocolate chips and M&Ms.
  • Drop dough by 3 tablespoon scoops onto a baking sheet, scooping only 8 cookies to a sheet (because these cookies are big) and spacing the cookies apart. Use your hand or the bottom of a drinking glass to flatten each dough ball into a patty.
  • Place additional chocolate chips and M&Ms on the top of each dough patty.
  • Bake at 350℉ for 10-11 minutes until set and light golden brown. Allow to cool on pan for 3 minutes, then remove to a rack to cool completely.
  • Use regular creamy peanut butter, not crunchy or natural peanut butter. Crunchy and natural peanut butter are drier than creamy, and will therefore make dry cookies. (I use JIF creamy peanut butter.)
  • Be sure to scoop these cookies large -- a full 3 tablespoons of dough per cookie (a cookie scoop makes this step extra easy). Scooping Monster Cookies large creates a nice-sized, nice-thickness, soft and tender cookie.
  • Placing additional chocolate chips and M&Ms on the top of each dough patty before baking is key to get that characteristic colorful and extra-loaded Monster Cookie top. Press the chocolate chips and M&Ms just slightly into the dough to embed them on the top of the cookie.
  • Do not over bake, as the Monster Cookies will turn rock hard. Bake for just 10-11 minutes only, no more. I always bake mine on the 10 minute end.
  • Once baked, allow the cookies to cool on the pan for 3 minutes before removing them to a rack to cool completely. They are prone to cracking and crumbling if you try to move them off the baking pan too soon.
  • As a side note, 3/4 cup M&Ms is about 9 Halloween fun size packs, if you happen to be using up extra Halloween candy to make these!

Yield 72

Number Of Ingredients 11

3 eggs
1 ½ cups packed brown sugar
1 cup white sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 teaspoon corn syrup
2 teaspoons baking soda
½ cup butter
1 ½ cups peanut butter
4 ½ cups rolled oats
1 cup semisweet chocolate chips
1 cup candy-coated milk chocolate pieces

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
  • In a very large bowl, beat the eggs.
  • Add the remaining ingredients in order, mixing well.
  • Use an ice cream scoop to put on ungreased cookie sheet. Bake for 12 to 15 minutes.

Nutrition Facts : Calories 119.1 calories, Carbohydrate 15.4 g, Cholesterol 11.5 mg, Fat 5.8 g, Fiber 1 g, Protein 2.5 g, SaturatedFat 2.3 g, Sodium 75.2 mg, Sugar 10.9 g

Tips:

  • Use high-quality chocolate chips for the best flavor. You can use a mix of semisweet, bittersweet, or even white chocolate chips.
  • Don't overmix the dough. Overmixing will make the cookies tough.
  • Chill the dough for at least 30 minutes before baking. This will help the cookies hold their shape and prevent them from spreading too much.
  • Bake the cookies until the edges are golden brown and the centers are set. Overbaking will make the cookies dry.
  • Let the cookies cool completely before enjoying. This will allow the flavors to develop and the cookies to firm up.

Conclusion:

Monster cookies are a delicious and easy-to-make treat that are perfect for any occasion. With their chewy texture, gooey chocolate chips, and peanut butter flavor, these cookies are sure to be a hit with everyone who tries them.
