Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 0.5 cup Unsalted butter, softened
- 1 cup Creamy peanut butter
- 0.5 cup Granulated sugar
- 0.75 cup Brown sugar, packed
- 2 pieces Large eggs
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 1.5 cups All-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon Baking soda
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 2 cups Quick oats
- 1 cup Semisweet chocolate chips
- 1 cup Candy-coated chocolates (e.g., M&M's)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone baking mats.
In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened butter, peanut butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar together until smooth and creamy, about 2-3 minutes.
Add the eggs and vanilla extract to the bowl, then beat until well combined.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking soda, and salt.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, mixing until just combined.
Stir in the quick oats, semisweet chocolate chips, and candy-coated chocolates with a spatula or wooden spoon until evenly distributed.
Using a medium cookie scoop or tablespoon, drop rounded scoops of dough onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
Flatten each scoop slightly with the back of a spoon or your fingers to form a disc shape.
Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, until the edges are lightly golden. The centers will still look soft, but they will firm up as the cookies cool.
Remove the cookies from the oven and let them cool on the baking sheets for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Enjoy your Peanut Butter Monster Cookies with a tall glass of milk or package them as a fun and colorful treat for friends and family!
