Ingredients

• 1 cup Unsalted butter, softened
• 1 cup Granulated sugar
• 1 cup Light brown sugar, packed
• 1.5 cups Creamy peanut butter
• 3 units Large eggs
• 2 teaspoons Vanilla extract
• 1 cup All-purpose flour
• 2 teaspoons Baking soda
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 4.5 cups Old-fashioned oats
• 1 cup Semisweet chocolate chips
• 1 cup Candy-coated chocolates (e.g., M&M's)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line two large baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone baking mats.

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, use an electric mixer to cream together the softened butter, granulated sugar, and light brown sugar until light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.

Step 3

Add the creamy peanut butter to the sugar mixture and mix until well combined.

Step 4

Beat in the eggs, one at a time, followed by the vanilla extract, ensuring everything is well incorporated.

Step 5

In a medium bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking soda, and salt.

Step 6

Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, mixing just until combined.

Step 7

Stir in the old-fashioned oats, semisweet chocolate chips, and candy-coated chocolates by hand using a sturdy spatula or wooden spoon. The dough will be thick.

Step 8

Using a large cookie scoop or two tablespoons, drop 2-inch mounds of dough onto the prepared baking sheets, leaving at least 2 inches of space between each cookie.

Step 9

Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are just starting to turn golden brown. The centers may still look slightly underbaked—this is okay.

Step 10

Remove the cookies from the oven and let them cool on the baking sheets for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Step 11

Serve your Cranky S Monster Cookies with a glass of milk and enjoy!
