Ingredients
- ½ cup salted butter softened
- 1¼ cup creamy peanut butter
- 1 cup packed brown sugar
- 1 cup white sugar
- 3 large eggs
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 2 tsp baking soda
- 4½ cups old fashioned oats
- 1 cup milk chocolate chips
- 1 cup m&m’s or reeses pieces
- Candy Eyeballs unless making them yourself
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350 with rack on the lowest level.
- In a stand mixer or large bowl add butter and peanut butter. Beat on low speed until blended together.
- Add brown and white sugar. Turn mixer or beaters on high speed and beat for 3 minutes or until texture is fluffier and lighter than before.
- Add eggs and vanilla to the bowl, mix only until combined.
- Add baking soda and oats, mix well only until combined, do not overmix.
- Add in chocolate chips and m&m’s and stir gently until everything is fully combined.
- It's best to make bigger cookies for the right texture - so I would recommend using a 4 Tablespoon/1/4 cup size cookie scoop to form your cookies.
- Place cookies on parchment lined baking sheet. Hand roll the cookies into round balls for best results.
- Bake on the lowest oven rack 11-12 minutes, or until the bottoms of the cookies are browned on the edges.
- Immediately after removing from oven, place a few extra m&m pieces and two candy eyeballs on top of cookies, and slightly press down.
- Let cookies cool for 10 minutes before eating.
- Keep any you aren’t eating right away to an airtight container at room temperature.
Notes
- If you are freezing these cookies: Form into balls, and freeze on a cookie sheet. After frozen remove and add to a Ziploc freezer bag. They will last for about a month in the freezer.
- To bake from frozen: Take out and bake as directed, adding a few extra minutes of baking time.
- Expert Tips
- Warming leftover cookies these in the microwave for 15-20 seconds is yummy next day.
- Print out the printable tag and gift or “boo” someone this year!
- Dont use “natural” peanut butter, use regular Make one big giant monster cookie if you like - it might need a little more baking time.
- If you want gooey-er cookies you can bake them on the center rack for 9-10 minutes until the tops and bottoms of cookies are golden. The insides will still be gooey when you take them out.
- Best results are to roll the balls in your hands first to form cookies.
