MONSTER COOKIES RECIPE



Monster Cookies Recipe image

Provided by Shiran

Time 26m

Number Of Ingredients 12

3/4 cup plus 2 tablespoons ((125 g/4.4 oz) all-purpose flour)
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup (1 stick/115 g) unsalted butter, at room temperature
1/2 cup (100 g/3.5 oz) light brown sugar (dark is fine, too)
1/4 cup (50 g/1.7 oz) granulated sugar
½ cup (125 g/4.4 oz) creamy peanut butter
1 large egg (, at room temperature)
1 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
1 and 1/4 cups ((120 g/4 oz) old-fashioned rolled oats)
3/4 cup multi-colored candies (, such as M&M's)
1/2 cup (85 g/3 oz) bittersweet or semi-sweet chocolate chips, optional

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350°F/180°C. Line two baking sheets with parchment paper and set aside.
  • In a large bowl, sift together flour, baking soda, and salt. Set aside. In a standing mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, beat butter and sugars for 2-3 minutes, until fluffy. Beat in peanut butter, vanilla, and egg, and beat well until combined. Add flour mixture and beat on low speed just until combined. Don't over mix. Add in oatmeal, candies, and chocolate chips, and keep mixing on low just until combined. The less you mix, the softer the cookies will be.
  • Drop rounded balls of dough onto prepared baking sheets, the size of 2 tablespoons each (I use an ice cream scoop), spacing them 2 inches apart. Bake for 9-12 minutes, until cookies just begin to brown at the edges and center is still soft. Cookies will appear undone and moist in the center, but will continue to bake on the warm baking sheet. Leave to cool for 10 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
  • Store cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 4 days, or freeze for up to 2 months. To thaw, leave on counter, still covered, or overnight in the fridge.

THE BEST MONSTER COOKIES



The BEST Monster Cookies image

There are about as many variations of Monster Cookie recipes as there are bakers who bake them. We tested 5 key variables and tried several different ways to figure out how to make the BEST Monster Cookies around. -- And believe me, these super tasty beauties do not disappoint.

Categories     Cookies & Bars

Time 40m

Yield About 32-34 cookies

Number Of Ingredients 13

1 c. brown sugar
1 c. granulated sugar
1/2 c. unsalted butter, softened
1 1/2 c. peanut butter
3 eggs
2 tsp. vanilla extract
2 tsp. baking soda
1/4 tsp. salt
1/2 c. all-purpose flour
4 1/2 c. quick oats
1 c. semi-sweet chocolate chips
3/4 c. M&Ms
additional chocolate chips and M&Ms for cookie tops

Steps:

  • In a large mixing bowl, beat together brown sugar, granulated sugar, butter, and peanut butter with an electric mixer at medium speed until well mixed and fluffy.
  • Add eggs and vanilla; continue to beat until well combined.
  • In a smaller bowl, combine flour, baking soda, and salt. Add to peanut butter mixture and mix until just combined.
  • Add quick oats and mix until just combined.
  • By hand, stir in chocolate chips and M&Ms.
  • Drop dough by 3 tablespoon scoops onto a baking sheet, scooping only 8 cookies to a sheet (because these cookies are big) and spacing the cookies apart. Use your hand or the bottom of a drinking glass to flatten each dough ball into a patty.
  • Place additional chocolate chips and M&Ms on the top of each dough patty.
  • Bake at 350℉ for 10-11 minutes until set and light golden brown. Allow to cool on pan for 3 minutes, then remove to a rack to cool completely.
  • Use regular creamy peanut butter, not crunchy or natural peanut butter. Crunchy and natural peanut butter are drier than creamy, and will therefore make dry cookies. (I use JIF creamy peanut butter.)
  • Be sure to scoop these cookies large -- a full 3 tablespoons of dough per cookie (a cookie scoop makes this step extra easy). Scooping Monster Cookies large creates a nice-sized, nice-thickness, soft and tender cookie.
  • Placing additional chocolate chips and M&Ms on the top of each dough patty before baking is key to get that characteristic colorful and extra-loaded Monster Cookie top. Press the chocolate chips and M&Ms just slightly into the dough to embed them on the top of the cookie.
  • Do not over bake, as the Monster Cookies will turn rock hard. Bake for just 10-11 minutes only, no more. I always bake mine on the 10 minute end.
  • Once baked, allow the cookies to cool on the pan for 3 minutes before removing them to a rack to cool completely. They are prone to cracking and crumbling if you try to move them off the baking pan too soon.
  • As a side note, 3/4 cup M&Ms is about 9 Halloween fun size packs, if you happen to be using up extra Halloween candy to make these!
