Ingredients

• 1 cup unsalted butter
• 1 cup brown sugar
• 1 cup granulated sugar
• 1.5 cups creamy peanut butter
• 3 items large eggs
• 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
• 2 cups all-purpose flour
• 4 cups quick-cooking oats
• 2 teaspoons baking soda
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1.5 cups mini chocolate chips
• 1.5 cups mini candy-coated chocolates (e.g., M&M's)
• 1 cup chopped pecans or walnuts (optional)

Directions

Step 1

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

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, cream together the unsalted butter, brown sugar, granulated sugar, and peanut butter using a hand mixer or stand mixer until light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.

Step 3

Add the eggs and vanilla extract to the bowl and mix until fully combined.

Step 4

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

Step 5

Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing on low speed until a cohesive dough forms.

Step 6

Fold in the mini chocolate chips, candy-coated chocolates, and chopped nuts (if using) with a spatula or wooden spoon.

Step 7

Using a cookie scoop or tablespoon, portion out the dough and place each scoop about 2 inches apart on the prepared baking sheets.

Step 8

Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are set and the tops are just beginning to turn golden. Avoid overbaking for chewy cookies.

Step 9

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

Step 10

Enjoy Riley and Chelsea’s favorite monster cookies with a glass of cold milk or as a delightful snack!
