Ultimate Loaded Monster Cookies Recipe

• Prep time: 15 minutes

• Bake time: 10 to 12 minutes

• Yield: About 12 to 15 large cookies

Ingredients

• ½ cup unsalted butter, softened

• ½ cup creamy peanut butter

• ½ cup granulated sugar

• ½ cup packed light brown sugar

• 1 large egg

• 1 tsp vanilla extract

• 1 ½ cups old-fashioned rolled oats

• 1 cup all-purpose flour

• ½ tsp baking soda

• ¼ tsp salt

• ½ cup semi-sweet chocolate chips

• ½ cup peanut butter chips (or white chocolate chips)

Instructions

1. Prep the Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.

2. Cream Butter and Sugars: In a large bowl, beat the softened butter, peanut butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar together on medium speed until smooth and creamy (about 2 minutes).

3. Add Wet Ingredients: Beat in the egg and vanilla extract until fully incorporated.

4. Mix Dry Ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together the rolled oats, all-purpose flour, baking soda, and salt. Gradually add this dry mixture to the wet ingredients, mixing on low just until combined.

5. Fold in Mix-ins: Gently stir in the semi-sweet chocolate chips and peanut butter chips until evenly distributed throughout the thick dough.

6. Scoop and Shape: Scoop large balls of dough (about 3 tablespoons each) and place them a few inches apart on the prepared baking sheet.

7. Bake: Bake for 10 to 12 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown and the centers are still soft.

8. Cool: Let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
