Monster Cookies are jammed packed with goodies like: oatmeal, peanut butter, chocolate chips and m&m candies! The ultimate cookie loaded with delicious flavor and texture. This recipe yields 30 cookies in about an hour.
Meet the ultimate cookie. It has just about everything a person could wish for in a cookie. If you love peanut butter, oatmeal, chocolate chips and M&M’s.. well, this cookie is for you.
It’s thick, chewy -thanks to the oatmeal- but with that crisp peanut butter cookie exterior. And it doesn’t stop there. I like to use crunchy peanut butter as suppose to creamy, just so the cookies have even more texture.
To Make These Monster Cookies You Will Need:
- old fashioned rolled oats
- unbleached all-purpose flour
- whole wheat flour
- baking soda
- kosher salt
- unsalted butter
- crunchy peanut butter
- dark brown sugar
- granulated sugar
- eggs
- vanilla
- M&M candies
- milk chocolate chips
In a bowl, measure and add 2-1/2 cup old fashioned oats, 1 cup unbleached all-purpose flour, 1/2 cup whole wheat flour, 2 teaspoons baking soda and 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt. Stir to combine and set off to the side.
Next in the bowl of your stand mixer, fitted with the paddle attachment, measure and add 1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter, 1 cup crunchy peanut butter and 3/4 cup each of dark brown sugar and granulated sugar. Mix until combined and fluffy.
Next add 1 egg at a time, mixing well after each addition. With the second egg, add in 1 teaspoon vanilla extract.
Add half of the flour/oat mixture and mix until just combined. Then add the remaining, stopping when just combined.
Measure and add in 1 cup milk chocolate chips
Lastly, add in 2-1/2 cups M&M’s and mix by hand using a spatula.
Using a 3 tablespoons scoop, measure out 3 tablespoons of cookie dough and place onto a parchment lined rimmed, metal baking sheet.
Bake on the middle rack of your preheated 350° oven for 12 to 14 minutes.
Transfer to a wire rack to cool…
…before inhaling.
Crisp, peanut buttery, crunchy candy coated oatmeal goodness. All packed into one amazing cookie!

THANK YOU in advance for your support!
Well, I am very excited about these cookies! Everything we love in one cookie! Can’t wait to try them, thanks Laurie!
I saw these cookies and they looked great so I had to make them. They tasted great, too. This coming from someone who does not care for peanut butter. The only substitutions I made was swapping the chocolate chips for dark chocolate chips and using creamy peanut butter. My 8 year old son said these were his new favorite cookies. Big compliment! Thanks for sharing a great recipe.
Great recipe and a satisfying, delicious cookie. Thanks for the recipe.
So glad you enjoyed them, Carolyn!
