Ingredients
  

  • 1/2 cup butter (room temp)
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1 egg (room temp)
  • 1 1/4 cups flour
  • 1/2 cup brown sugar
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 3/4 cup peanut butter
  • 1/2 tsp cinnamon
  • 1/2 tsp baking powder
  • 1/2 tsp baking soda
  • 1/2 cup quick oats
  • 3/4 cup M&Ms
  • 1/2 cup chocolate chips

Instructions
 

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit.
  • Cream the butter and sugars together in a medium sized bowl using a hand mixer. Once you have a creamy texture, add the vanilla, egg, and peanut butter. Mix well.
  • In a separate bowl blend together the flour, cinnamon, baking soda and baking powder with a whisk. Pour the dry mixture into the bowl with the wet mixture.
  • Use a wooden spoon to mix all ingredients well, about 1 minute. Add the M&Ms, quick oats, and chocolate chips and continue to blend with the spoon.
  • Prepare a baking sheet. Using a scoop, add the 2 inch balls of cookie dough and separate them by a few inches.
  • Bake cookies for 11-12 minutes, or until the edges start to brown. Remove the cookies from the oven. If you want the cookies to have extra M&M’s, now is the perfect time to add a few to the tops and press down easily. Allow the cookies to cool for a minute before placing them on a wire cooling rack.
  • Serve when ready! Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to a week.

Notes

  1. Store monster cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.
  2. Make these cookies a little larger, but make sure you add a little baking time.
