Monster Cookies
Chewy monster cookies filled with peanut butter, quick oats, mini chocolate chips, and mini M&Ms. These cookies are so soft in the middle with crisp edges
These monster cookies are the perfect cookie. Monster cookies combine the good stuff from everyone’s favorite type of cookie, oatmeal, chocolate chip, peanut butter, and M&M all together. To make the best monster cookies recipe I made these thick cookies, because I LOVE chewy cookies with a crispy edge.

Tips for making the cookies
Here are my tips, so yours turns out like this recipe!
- Tip 1: Make sure to scoop your flour into the measuring cup rather than pressing the measuring cup up against the side of your flour container. If you press the measuring up into the flour you can compact it and end up with too much flour and dry cookies.
- Tip 2: Using creamy peanut butter helps it mix into the cookie dough. If you use chunky it is much harder to fully incorporate all the ingredients. Also, natural peanut butter and can make the cookies taste gritty.
- Tip 3: You can only old fashioned oats if you blend them a few times in a food processor to take them smaller.

Can I use old fashioned oats instead of quick oats?
Yes, But blend them in a blender a few times until they are smaller pieces.
I added coconut and chopped pecans! Made them numerous times and they are loved by all! Thank you
I love your recipes! This one was so great. Other recipes I’ve tried resulted in dry/to crumbly monster cookies. These were the perfect texture and we love them.
I will be making these tomorrow! I can’t wait!! What size cookie scoop do you use?
i used a 3 TBSP cookie scoop.
What can I substitute the peanut butter with ( or can it be substituted)?My daughter is allergic to peanuts.
You can use almond butter or sunflower butter.
This recipe will be my go to recipe for monster cookies. Crisp and chewy. Wonderful!
I made these for a gathering and I’m not joking when I say every single person came up and told me how much they loved them!
