Monster Cookie Recipe
We call this Monster Cookie Recipe for a reason and the kids go crazy over them. These cookies are loaded with so many good things that everyone will get super excited when you make them.
Creamy peanut butter, chocolate chips, M&M’s and more come together for one amazing cookie. These are a must try!
Whether you want an after school treat or something to take to the next party, these are sure to be a hit!
They are super easy to make and you probably have most of the ingredients already in your pantry. If not, you can get them cheap when they on sale. Wahoo!
Ingredients to make monster cookies:
- eggs
- brown sugar
- granulated sugar
- creamy peanut butter
- butter
- salt
- vanilla
- m&m’s
- semi sweet chocolate chips
- baking soda
- quick oats
How to make the best monster cookie recipe:
Preheat the oven to 350.
Line cookie sheets with parchment paper or use a baking mat. This will make clean up even easier so we love to use one of these.
Combine eggs, vanilla, salt, sugar, brown sugar and baking soda in a large mixing bowl.
Add in peanut butter, and butter. Mix until well incorporated.
Stir in the M&M’s, chocolate chips and oatmeal.
Place about tablespoon size chunks on the prepared baking sheets several inches apart. I have stainless steel cookie scoops that I love and they make baking so much easier.
Bake for about 9 minutes.
Leave on cookie sheet for about 3 minutes before moving to wire racks to cool completely.
Enjoy!
Tip for making monster cookie recipe:
Now my family loves to make cookies, but there are two things that we just HAVE to have to make the perfect cookies.
First, we use baking mats. I don’t know why I never used these before. Amazon has them on sale right now.
These keep your cookies from burning on the bottom and they help them cook evenly. Plus it saves you money by not having to use parchment paper all the time. 😉
The cookie scoops are also great to have. I thought my friend was crazy when she told me she used these until she bought me some. I’m in love!
They make baking cookies so much easier. Plus the cookies are more evenly shaped, meaning they will all cook more evenly. Amazon has them on sale too.
How do you stop cookies from spreading?
Using a silicone baking mat will help the cookies from spreading as it gives the cookies something to grip. Parchment paper also works the same way.
Can I freeze monster cookie dough?
Yes! We actually do this frequently so that we will have cookies ready to go.
Just make the cookie dough as normal and put them on cookie sheet in balls just like as above. Next, put them in the freezer still on the baking sheet and let them freeze.
Once the cookies are frozen, remove them from the baking sheet and put in a freezer bag or container. Now, you have cookies all ready to bake when you are ready to enjoy.
This sure makes it easier to enjoy these cookies any time you want.
Variations to try with monster cookie recipe:
The fun thing about Monster cookies is that you can change the ingredients slightly for a completely different cookie. Switch out the chocolate chips for white chocolate or peanut butter chips and your cookie is completely different… but still tastes amazing!
We also like to make these for the holidays with holiday m&m’s. 😉 The ideas are truly endless making these cookies the perfect treat any time of year.
Some of our favorite ideas include:
- Mixing white chocolate morsels with the semi sweet chocolate morsels.
- Adding peanut butter morsels.
- Different types of m&m’s. Try peanut butter, nutella and more for a great cookie.
- Try different colors of m&m’s. Make Valentine’s cookies with pink and red m&m’s. Other ideas include- Christmas, Easter, Spring and more!
- Dark chocolate is also a delicious add on!
- Substitute chunky peanut butter for the creamy peanut butter for a chunkier cookie.
- Add nuts to the cookie mixture. Pecans and walnuts are great options.
These are just some of the great ideas to try with these cookies. You can’t go wrong however you decide to make these amazing monster cookies.

Instead of peanut butter used home made Almond butter and also used 9 grain Instead of the oatmeal plus 2 extra tablespoons ground flax seeds with 1 teaspoon dry lemon zest.. this recipe is great kids loved it with some dark chocolate and mint chocolate. This one we will be making more often for school.
