MONSTER COOKIES VI

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
• In a very large bowl, beat the eggs.

MONSTER COOKIES

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit. Line tw0 large, rimmed baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone mats for easy clean-up.
• In a large mixing bowl, combine the peanut butter with the sugar and coconut oil. Use an electric mixer or a large spoon to mix until well combined. Add the eggs, baking soda and vanilla, and mix well. Add the oats and chocolate chips and mix until they're evenly incorporated.
• Working with an ice cream scoop or 1/4 cup measuring cup, drop the cookies onto the prepared baking sheets. These cookies spread while baking, so leave several inches around each (I can bake six at a time). If they are irregularly shaped at the base, gently shape them into a more rounded mound. If you'd like your cookies to look extra pretty, dot a few extra M&M's and chocolate chips on each mound of dough before baking.
• Bake 10 to 12 minutes, until they're just starting to turn golden around the edges. Do not overbake. Let the cookies cool for 10 minutes before transferring to a cooling rack. In the meantime, bake your next six cookies, and so on.
• If desired, sprinkle the cookies lightly with flaky sea salt. Let them cool completely before storing them in an airtight container. Cookies will keep well for several days at room temperature.

MONSTER COOKIES

Steps:

• Heat oven to 350 degrees. In a small bowl combine flour, baking powder, salt and rolled oats. Set aside. In the bowl of an electric mixer combine butter, light brown sugar and superfine sugar. Beat until creamy. Add egg and vanilla, and beat again until smooth.
• Add flour mixture to butter mixture, and beat until smooth. By hand, fold in chopped pecans and M&M's.
• Roll quarter-cup measures of dough into balls and flatten them into fat disks (about 1/2 inch thick). Place on a parchment-lined or greased baking sheet, about 6 at a time, so they have room to spread.
• Bake until cookies are risen, dry on surface and very lightly browned, 15 to 20 minutes. They will be too soft to lift from baking sheet. Set aside to harden for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool.

• Beat in peanut butter, corn syrup and vanilla, mixing well.
• Add eggs one at a time, beating until incorporated.
• Stir in flour, baking soda and oats. Fold in M&Ms and chocolate chips, just until combined.
• If dough is too sticky to handle, refrigerate for at least 30 minutes. Drop 3 tablespoons of dough on prepared cookie sheet, spacing cookies at least 2 inches apart. Press a few extra M&Ms on the tops for more colorful appearance, if desired. Bake at 350°F for 6-9 minutes.
• Shorter cook time (6 minutes) will result in softer, chewier cookies. Cookies will look slightly under-baked; allow to cool on cookie sheet for 5-10 minutes after removing from oven.
• Use the longer bake time (9 minutes) if the dough has been chilled or if crisp cookies are preferred. Cool on cookie sheet for 2 minutes, then remove to wire rack to cool completely.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350°F/180°C. Line two baking sheets with parchment paper and set aside.
• In a large bowl, sift together flour, baking soda, and salt. Set aside. In a standing mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, beat butter and sugars for 2-3 minutes, until fluffy. Beat in peanut butter, vanilla, and egg, and beat well until combined. Add flour mixture and beat on low speed just until combined. Don't over mix. Add in oatmeal, candies, and chocolate chips, and keep mixing on low just until combined. The less you mix, the softer the cookies will be.
• Drop rounded balls of dough onto prepared baking sheets, the size of 2 tablespoons each (I use an ice cream scoop), spacing them 2 inches apart. Bake for 9-12 minutes, until cookies just begin to brown at the edges and center is still soft. Cookies will appear undone and moist in the center, but will continue to bake on the warm baking sheet. Leave to cool for 10 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
• Store cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 4 days, or freeze for up to 2 months. To thaw, leave on counter, still covered, or overnight in the fridge.

THE BEST MONSTER COOKIES

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350°. Line cookie sheets with parchment paper, use a silpat liner, or spray with cooking spray.
• In a large bowl (or bowl of a stand mixer) cream together the butter, brown sugar, and peanut butter until light and fluffy, about 1-2 minutes.
• Mix in the egg and vanilla, scraping down the sides of the bowl as needed.
• In a separate bowl, add the flour, baking soda, cornstarch, baking powder, and salt and whisk to combine.
• With the mixer on low speed, slowly add the flour mixture to the wet ingredients and mix until just combined.
• Add the oats, chocolate chips, and M&M candies. Mix on low speed just until dough is combined.
• Use a medium cookie scoop, or about 2 tablespoons cookie dough, and place on the baking sheets. They should look like golf balls.
• Bake the cookies for 7-9 minutes until the edges are just starting to brown and the top still looks slightly undercooked.
• Remove from the oven and cool for 5 minutes on the baking sheet before moving them to a wire rack to cool completely.
• ** These cookies don't spread much after baking. If you gently press additional m&m's onto the tops of each cookie that will help flatten the cookie to more of a "cookie shape". You can also tap the hot cookie sheet against the countertop or stove top to help the cookies to fall.

• Add the flour, salt, baking powder, and baking soda and mix on low until just combined. Add the oats, chips, and nuts, M&Ms, and crispy rice cereal and mix until just combined.
• Drop large rounds (I use a #20 - 3 tablespoon cookie scoop) onto the prepared sheet pan, 6-8 per pan. Bake until edges are golden brown and centers are just barely set, about 12 minutes.
• Let cool on the sheet for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely. Store in an airtight container for several days.

SOFT BATCH PEANUT BUTTER MONSTER COOKIES

Steps:

• In the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment or in a large bowl using a handheld electric mixer, beat the butter on medium speed until smooth and creamy.
• Add in the peanut butter and vanilla and beat until smooth, about 2 minutes.
• Next add in both sugars and beat until light and fluffy, scraping down the sides and bottom of the bowl as needed, about 2 minutes.
• Add in the eggs and yolk, one at a time, beating well after each addition. Turn mixer off.
• Add in the flour, oats, baking soda, baking powder, cinnamon, and salt. Whisk the ingredients together lightly before turning the mixer back on low and mixing in the dry ingredients until just combined. Be sure not to over mix here.
• Turn mixer off and use a spatula to fold in the M&Ms, chocolate chips, and peanuts.
• Cover the bowl and place it in the fridge for 30 minutes, or up to 2 days.

THE BEST MONSTER COOKIES

Steps:

• In a large mixing bowl, beat together brown sugar, granulated sugar, butter, and peanut butter with an electric mixer at medium speed until well mixed and fluffy.
• Add eggs and vanilla; continue to beat until well combined.
• In a smaller bowl, combine flour, baking soda, and salt. Add to peanut butter mixture and mix until just combined.
• Add quick oats and mix until just combined.
• By hand, stir in chocolate chips and M&Ms.
• Drop dough by 3 tablespoon scoops onto a baking sheet, scooping only 8 cookies to a sheet (because these cookies are big) and spacing the cookies apart. Use your hand or the bottom of a drinking glass to flatten each dough ball into a patty.
• Place additional chocolate chips and M&Ms on the top of each dough patty.
• Bake at 350℉ for 10-11 minutes until set and light golden brown. Allow to cool on pan for 3 minutes, then remove to a rack to cool completely.
• Use regular creamy peanut butter, not crunchy or natural peanut butter. Crunchy and natural peanut butter are drier than creamy, and will therefore make dry cookies. (I use JIF creamy peanut butter.)
• Be sure to scoop these cookies large -- a full 3 tablespoons of dough per cookie (a cookie scoop makes this step extra easy). Scooping Monster Cookies large creates a nice-sized, nice-thickness, soft and tender cookie.
• Placing additional chocolate chips and M&Ms on the top of each dough patty before baking is key to get that characteristic colorful and extra-loaded Monster Cookie top. Press the chocolate chips and M&Ms just slightly into the dough to embed them on the top of the cookie.
• Do not over bake, as the Monster Cookies will turn rock hard. Bake for just 10-11 minutes only, no more. I always bake mine on the 10 minute end.
• Once baked, allow the cookies to cool on the pan for 3 minutes before removing them to a rack to cool completely. They are prone to cracking and crumbling if you try to move them off the baking pan too soon.
• As a side note, 3/4 cup M&Ms is about 9 Halloween fun size packs, if you happen to be using up extra Halloween candy to make these!
