Monster Cookies
Have you ever heard of a monster cookie? They are soft and chewy cookies made with oats, peanut butter, chocolate, and M&M’s. Many of the monster cookie recipes I have come across don’t call for flour, but I have tried them both ways, and I think that adding flour gives them a softer texture and thicker appearance.
The recipe that I am sharing below, is the best monster cookie recipe I have ever tasted. The cookies are soft, chewy, and chocolatey. With each bite, you get a bit of dark chocolate, tiny, crunchy M&M’s, and peanut butter. To me, they feel a bit more filling than your average cookie from the peanut butter and oats, which is why I like that they are on the smaller size - 3 - 4 bites per cookie. If you prefer a larger cookie, you could always double up and make them larger, 3 tbsp of dough per cookie versus 1 1/2 tbsp.
Every time I make a batch of these cookies, I have to hide half of the cookies in the freezer to stop myself from eating them all in one sitting. They are everything I want in a cookie plus more. I’m not kidding, they are probably one of the best cookies I have had in a while, and I love cookies, so this is saying a lot.
