Monster Cookies
These monster cookies are unique, because they're made without flour - only oats, so they're ultra chewy and hearty! They're also loaded with creamy peanut butter, M&Ms, and chocolate chips.

- 1/2 cup unsalted butter softened to room temperature
- 1 1/4 cups dark brown sugar packed
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 3 large eggs room temperature
- 1 tablespoon vanilla extract
- 1 1/2 cups creamy peanut butter
- 4 1/2 cups old fashioned oats* certified gluten free if necessary
- 2 teaspoons baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup M&M's
- 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
Place butter, sugars, eggs, vanilla, and peanut butter in a large bowl.
Using a hand mixer or stand mixer, beat together until well combined.
Add in oats, baking soda, salt, M&Ms, and chocolate chips.
Mix until well combined.
Optional: chill the dough for at least 30 minutes. I never do this, but if you're worried about spreading, I'd recommend chilling the dough.
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F and line a rimmed baking sheet with a silicone baking mat.
Use a cookie scoop** to scoop cookie onto prepared baking sheet. I bake 12 at a time.
Depending on the size of your cookie scoop, bake cookies for 8-12 minutes (8 for smaller cookies, 12 for larger cookies).
Remove from oven and let cool for a few minutes, before removing them from the cookie sheet and placing the cookies on a cooling rack.
Serve immediately or cool completely before storing in airtight containers!

*I've had success with quick cooking oats and rolled oats, although the results are different. Quick cooking oats aren't quite as thick, fluffy, and sturdy as the rolled oats.
**If you use a smaller cookie scoop, you'll get about 4 dozen cookies and the calorie count will be smaller.
