Super Soft Monster Cookies

This is a super good recipe for Monster Cookies!  This is also the first recipe that I was able to use my new Kitchen Aid hand mixer (on sale from Younkers, of course!).  I hope you like this recipe as much as we do!

Ingredients
1/2 cup or 1 stick of butter (at room temperature)

1/2 cup brown sugar

1/4 cup white sugar

3/4 cup creamy peanut butter

1 egg

1 teaspoon vanilla

1/2 teaspoon baking soda

1 1/4 cups all purpose flour

1/2 cup quick cooking oats

3/4 cup m&ms (I used mini ones)

1/4 cup chocolate chips

1/4 peanut butter chips 

Process

1. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.  

2. Start by combining the butter, brown and white sugars in a large bowl using a hand/stand mixer or your own brute strength.  Add the peanut butter, stir again.  Add the egg, stir, vanilla stir.  

3. Measure in the baking soda and flour and stir just until combined.  Stir in the oats, m&ms, chocolate chips and peanut butter chips.  

4. Scoop using a cookie scoop or two teaspoons measuring about 2 tablespoons onto a cookie sheet sprayed with cooking spray (just in case).  Press down gently as they do not spread on their own.  

5. Bake for 9-10 minutes, I baked them for 11.5 minutes because our oven is kind of picky about whether it's going to work really good or not.  You want these to stay soft.  Remove from the oven and let cool on the cookie sheet for 2-3 minutes then move to a cooling rack.  

6. Enjoy with a big glass of milk!
