Monster Cookies


Ingredients:

1/2 Cup (1 stick) salted butter, softened 
1/2 Cup light brown sugar 
1/4 Cup sugar
3/4 Cup creamy peanut butter
1 Large egg
1 Teaspoon vanilla extract
1/2 Teaspoon baking soda
1 and 1/4 Cups all purpose flour
1/2 Cup Quick oats (not instant or whole-rolled oats)
3/4 Cup M&Ms
1/2Cup Chocolate Chips Mini or Regular size
1/4Cup of Peanut Butter Chips

Directions:
Preheat oven to 350F degrees.

In a large bowl, cream the butter and sugars together on medium speed. Mix in the peanut butter, egg, and vanilla (in that order). Slowly mix in the baking soda and flour. Do not overmix. Fold in the quick oats, M&Ms, and chocolate chips. If the dough is super soft, chill the dough for 20 minutes before rolling.

Rolls balls of dough, about 2 Tablespoons of dough per ball, onto baking sheets lined with parchement paper.  Bake for 9-10 minutes don't go past 10 minutes. The cookies will appear undone. Slightly press down the baked cookies with the back of a spoon, since the cookies only spread a little in the oven. Allow cookies to cool on the parchment paper for 10 minutes before transferring to a wire rack. Cookies will firm up as they cool.
