Monster Cookies

My mom used to make a version of these when we were kids and we just LOVED them! These cookies are a combination of all the best cookie ingredients combined. They are big and full of yummy stuff...hence the name Monster :). I used an oatmeal cookie recipe that I got from school as the base for this recipe and then added all the yummy stuff.

Monster Cookies


1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour

1/2 tsp salt

1/2 tsp baking powder

2 sticks butter softened

1 cup light brown sugar

1 cup granulated sugar

2 large eggs

3 cups rolled oats

1/2 cup each: mini chocolate chips, peanut butter, m&m’s, roasted salted peanuts


preheat oven to 350


Whisk together flour, salt and baking powder in a large bowl.

Beat butter until creamy. Add sugars and beat until fluffy. Beat in eggs one at a time.

Stir butter mixture into flour mixture. Stir in oats and remaining ingredients until combined.


Chill dough 15 min.


Scoop dough onto cookie sheet using an ice cream scooper and bake 20-25 min or until edges turn golden.

I'll have to try this recipe! Steffi and I tried making monster cookies once with our small groups once and they turned out super flat and weird! I need to redeem myself! ;)
