To make these Monster Cookies, I started by dumping some smooth peanut butter, softened butter, eggs, granulated sugar, light brown sugar and vanilla extract into a large mixing bowl.
I used an electric mixer to cream the ingredients together until smooth.
Then I added some quick oats, baking powder, salt and cocoa powder to the bowl.
I continued mixing with the electric mixer until all of the ingredients were fully combined.
Then I added some mini M&M’s to the bowl.
I used a rubber spatula to stir the M&M’s into the cookie dough.
Then I scooped the cooked dough in balls approximately one and a half inches in diameter and dropped them onto a non stick baking sheet.
I left about two inches between the balls of cookie dough.
I baked the cookies until the edges were starting to darken slightly.
Then I removed the baking sheet from the oven and allowed the cookies to cool on the pan for a few minutes.
After a few minutes I used a spatula to transfer the cookies to some parchment paper on the counter to finish cooling off.
These chewy oatmeal peanut butter cookies are the perfect treat for peanut butter lovers.
