My Thoughts on this Recipe
I have been making these amazing Peanut Butter Monster Cookies ever since my aunt Jennifer whipped them up one summer’s day at my grandparents’ house at least 20 years ago. They are peanut buttery, chewy and hearty. They also don’t have any flour in them, only oats. We absolutely love these cookies, and if I take them somewhere, I am usually asked for the recipe. You should try these!
Ingredients
The main ingredients are peanut butter, butter, white and brown sugars, vanilla, oats, baking soda, eggs, mini M&Ms and mini chocolate chips.
Recommendations
These cookies are simple to make. You’ll want to follow the directions as-written, and I also recommend that you freeze any leftover dough if you are not baking all of the cookies.
I find it helpful to leave the baked cookies on the cookie sheet for 2-3 minutes for them to set, and then move them to a cooling rack.
I store my cookies in a ziplock plastic bag, and they keep well for several days without drying out.
Future Ideas/Variations
I don’t think I would change anything about this recipe.
Final thoughts
These Peanut Butter Monster Cookies are absolutely delicious, and I know you are going to love them!
