Time 25m

Number Of Ingredients 12

1/2 cup butter (1 stick)
1 cup light brown sugar
1 cup white sugar
3 large eggs
1 1/2 cups peanut butter
1 1/2 teaspoons corn syrup
1 1/2 teaspoons vanilla
1 cup all-purpose flour
2 teaspoons baking soda
3 1/2 cups old fashioned oats
1 cup M&Ms
1/2 cup chocolate chips

  • Beat in peanut butter, corn syrup and vanilla, mixing well.
  • Add eggs one at a time, beating until incorporated.
  • Stir in flour, baking soda and oats. Fold in M&Ms and chocolate chips, just until combined.
  • If dough is too sticky to handle, refrigerate for at least 30 minutes. Drop 3 tablespoons of dough on prepared cookie sheet, spacing cookies at least 2 inches apart. Press a few extra M&Ms on the tops for more colorful appearance, if desired. Bake at 350°F for 6-9 minutes.
  • Shorter cook time (6 minutes) will result in softer, chewier cookies. Cookies will look slightly under-baked; allow to cool on cookie sheet for 5-10 minutes after removing from oven.
  • Use the longer bake time (9 minutes) if the dough has been chilled or if crisp cookies are preferred. Cool on cookie sheet for 2 minutes, then remove to wire rack to cool completely.

LOADED PEANUT BUTTER MONSTER COOKIES



Loaded Peanut Butter Monster Cookies image

Provided by Dan Langan

Categories     dessert

Time 1h40m

Yield 12 cookies

Number Of Ingredients 15

1/2 cup creamy peanut butter
1/2 stick (2 ounces) unsalted butter, at room temperature
3/4 cup packed (160 grams) light brown sugar
3/4 teaspoon fine salt
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
1/4 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
1 large egg, at room temperature
1 teaspoon water
1/4 cup (30 grams) all-purpose flour
1 1/2 cups (140 grams) rolled oats
1/2 cup candy-coated chocolates, such as M&M?s
1/2 cup chopped miniature peanut butter cups (about 10)
1/4 cup toffee bits
1/4 cup mini chocolate chips

Steps:

  • Position racks in the upper and lower thirds of the oven and preheat to 325 degrees F. Line 2 baking sheets with parchment.
  • Combine the peanut butter, butter, brown sugar, salt, baking powder, baking soda and vanilla extract in the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment. Mix on medium speed until smooth and fluffy, about 2 minutes. Scrape the bowl and paddle with a rubber spatula.
  • Add the egg and water, mix on low speed then increase the speed to medium, until smooth and combined.
  • With the mixer running on low speed, add the flour and mix until just combined then add the oats and mix until just combined. Scrape the bowl and paddle with a rubber spatula.
  • Reserve 2 to 3 tablespoons of the candy-coated chocolates and peanut butter cups for topping and add the rest to the cookie dough, along with the toffee bits and chocolate chips. Mix on low speed until combined.
  • Scoop six 1/4-cup mounds of dough onto each of the prepared baking sheets. Flatten each mound to about 3/4 inch thick and arrange the reserved candy-coated chocolates and peanut butter cups on top of the cookies.
  • Bake until puffed and slightly golden around the edges, 18 to 20 minutes, rotating and switching the positions of the baking sheets after 10 minutes. Let cool completely on the baking sheets.

Tips:

  • For the best flavor, use a combination of creamy and crunchy peanut butter.
  • If you don't have oats, you can substitute all-purpose flour.
  • To make the cookies chewier, add an extra 1/4 cup of peanut butter.
  • For a fun twist, add a few chopped Reese's Peanut Butter Cups to the batter.
  • Be sure to chill the dough for at least 30 minutes before baking. This will help the cookies hold their shape.
  • Bake the cookies until they are just set, about 10-12 minutes. Overbaking will make them dry and crumbly.
  • Let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Conclusion:

Peanut butter monster cookies are a classic American treat that are loved by people of all ages. They are easy to make and can be customized to your liking. Whether you like them chewy or crispy, with oats or without, these cookies are sure to satisfy your sweet tooth.
