Soft & Thick Monster Cookies
These soft & thick monster cookies are made from a super easy peanut butter cookie dough loaded with oats, m&ms, and chocolate chips!
Ingredients
- 160 g (1 ⅓ cup) all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon cornstarch
- ½ teaspoon baking powder
- ½ teaspoon baking soda
- ½ teaspoon kosher salt
- 113 g (½ cup) unsalted butter, cold & cubed
- 135 g (½ cup) creamy peanut butter*
- 160 g (¾ cup) brown sugar
- 50 g (¼ cup) granulated sugar
- 1 egg
- 1 egg yolk
- 1 teaspoon vanilla bean paste or extract
- 68 g (¾ cup) old fashioned rolled oats
- 100 g (½ cup) m&ms
- 85 g chocolate chips*
Instructions
- In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, cornstarch, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.
- In the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with a paddle attachment, cream together the butter and peanut butter on medium speed for 2-3 minutes.
- Add the sugars and continue beating for 2-3 more minutes until light & fluffy.
- Beat in the egg, egg yolk, and vanilla until fully combined.
- Add the dry ingredients and mix on low speed until just combined.
- Lastly, fold in the oats, m&ms, and chocolate chips with a rubber spatula.
- Cover the bowl and place in the fridge for at least one hour or overnight.
- Once the dough has chilled, preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (180 degrees C) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
- Use a 3 tablespoon cookie scoop to portion the cookie dough onto a small parchment lined baking sheet.
- Freeze the cookie dough for 15 minutes.
- Place the cookie dough on the prepared baking sheets about 2 inches a part, and top with more oats, m&ms, and chocolate chips as desired.
- Bake the cookies for about 12 minutes.
- Allow cookies to cool completely on the baking sheet and enjoy!
Notes
- I recommend using a thick, creamy peanut butter like Jif or Skippy.
- I recommend using a variety of chocolate chip sizes, as well as a mixture of semi-sweet and bittersweet for visual appeal and balance of chocolate flavor.
- To achieve perfectly round cookies, use a large cookie cutter or round glass, and gently circle around the cookies when they immediately come out of the oven.
