Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup unsalted butter
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1 cup light brown sugar
- 0.5 cup whole milk
- 0.25 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 0.25 teaspoon salt
- 1.5 cups creamy peanut butter
- 4 cups old-fashioned oats
- 0.75 cup mini chocolate chips
- 0.75 cup mini M&M's
Instructions
Line two large baking sheets with parchment or wax paper and set aside.
In a medium saucepan over medium heat, melt the butter. Once melted, stir in the granulated sugar, brown sugar, milk, and cocoa powder.
Bring the mixture to a boil, stirring frequently. Allow it to boil for one minute while continuing to stir constantly.
Remove the saucepan from heat and stir in the vanilla extract, salt, and peanut butter until smooth and well combined.
Add the old-fashioned oats to the mixture and fold until oats are evenly coated with the chocolate mixture.
Allow the mixture to cool slightly for 1 to 2 minutes, then gently fold in the mini chocolate chips and mini M&M's.
Using a medium cookie scoop or a spoon, drop spoonfuls of the mixture onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing them slightly apart.
Let the cookies cool and set at room temperature for about 30 minutes, or until firm. For faster setting, place the trays in the refrigerator for 15 minutes.
Once set, enjoy your No Bake Monster Cookies! Store any leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days.
