They\u2019re chock-full of ingredients that kids love like peanut butter, chocolate chips and M&#038;M&#8217;s. They&#8217;re also filled with oats for a bit of hidden fiber and a lovely hearty texture. They\u2019re as simple to whip up as most <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tasteofhome.com\/collection\/easy-cookie-recipes\/\" data-name=\"www.tasteofhome.com\/collection\/easy-cookie-recipes\/\" data-module=\"content engagement\" data-position=\"embedded links\">easy cookie recipes<\/a>, but they&#8217;re so much more fun!<\/p>\n<h2>Why are they called monster cookies?<\/h2>\n<p>Monster cookies have a few different origin theories. Some say their namesake comes from the bumpy, uneven texture and bright, fun colors of the cookies. Others speculate it\u2019s because they&#8217;re stuffed with so many unique ingredients (always being peanut butter, oats, chocolate chips and M&#038;M&#8217;s) that they\u2019re the \u201cmonster\u201d of all cookies.<\/p>\n<h2>Monster Cookie Ingredients<\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Peanut butter:<\/strong> We recommend no-stir peanut butter for this recipe. If all you have is natural peanut butter, make sure to give it a really, really good stir before using it.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Butter:<\/strong> Make sure your butter is softened before starting this recipe! If you forgot, learn <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tasteofhome.com\/article\/how-to-soften-butter-quickly\/\" data-name=\"www.tasteofhome.com\/article\/how-to-soften-butter-quickly\/\" data-module=\"content engagement\" data-position=\"embedded links\">how to soften butter quickly<\/a>.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Brown sugar:<\/strong> You can use either light or dark brown sugar for these cookies. Dark brown sugar contains more molasses than light or golden brown sugar, but if you prefer a bolder flavor, choose dark brown sugar.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Eggs:<\/strong> Eggs bind the ingredients together to keep the cookies from falling apart once they\u2019re cooled to room temperature.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Corn syrup:<\/strong> Corn syrup is liquid in its natural state, meaning it stops sugar crystals from forming. This makes the cookies soft and chewy.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Old-fashioned oats:<\/strong> Old-fashioned oats give these cookies a pleasing heartiness. You can use quick-cooking oats, but know the texture will be a bit mushier. Don\u2019t swap the old-fashioned oats for any other <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tasteofhome.com\/article\/different-types-of-oats\/\" data-name=\"www.tasteofhome.com\/article\/different-types-of-oats\/\" data-module=\"content engagement\" data-position=\"embedded links\">types of oats<\/a> besides quick oats.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Chocolate chips:<\/strong> Use your favorite chocolate chip, or try one of our <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tasteofhome.com\/collection\/the-best-chocolate-chips\/\" data-name=\"www.tasteofhome.com\/collection\/the-best-chocolate-chips\/\" data-module=\"content engagement\" data-position=\"embedded links\">Test Kitchen best picks<\/a>.<\/li>\n<li><strong>M&#038;M&#8217;s:<\/strong> Use regular-sized M&#038;M&#8217;s or mini\u2014the choice is yours!<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2>Directions<\/h2>\n<h3>Step 1: Cream the butters and sugars<\/h3>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-large wp-image-1994629\" src=\"https:\/\/www.tasteofhome.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/01\/Giant-Monster-Cookies_FT23_158479_EC_111523_1_SSedit.jpg?fit=700%2C1024\" alt=\"Giant Monster Cookies Ft23 158479 Ec 111523 1 Ssedit\" width=\"700\" height=\"1024\" data-recalc-dims=\"1\" \/><span class=\"credits-overlay\"><span class=\"image-credit noskim\">Taste Recipes<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n\n<p>Preheat the oven to 350\u00b0F.

Almond butter is a great substitute. If someone is allergic to nuts, swap out the peanut butter for sunflower seed butter.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Add more mix-ins:<\/strong> You\u2019re probably thinking, \u201cMore? Really?\u201d Yes! The sky\u2019s the limit with these cookies. Sprinkle in different baking chips like white chocolate, peanut butter or butterscotch, or add in crushed pretzels, toasted nuts or shredded coconut.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Decorate with googly eyes:<\/strong> Really give these a \u201cmonster\u201d look, and gently press candy googly eyes onto the cookies right after they come out of the oven.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2>How to Store Monster Cookies<\/h2>\n<p>Let your baked cookies cool to room temp, then store at room temperature in an airtight container for up to four days. To keep the cookies from going stale, add a slice of bread to the container. The cookies will absorb the moisture and stay nice and soft. Just make sure it\u2019s a slice of fresh bread, as old bread doesn\u2019t have much moisture to give.<\/p>\n<h2>Can you freeze monster cookies?<\/h2>\n<p>Yes, you can freeze monster cookies. Allow the cookies to cool to room temperature, then place them in an airtight container. They can be kept in the freezer for up to three months. This method is generally <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tasteofhome.com\/article\/how-to-freeze-cookies\/\" data-name=\"www.tasteofhome.com\/article\/how-to-freeze-cookies\/\" data-module=\"content engagement\" data-position=\"embedded links\">how to freeze most cookies<\/a>, so keep this tip in your back pocket!<\/p>\n<p>To thaw, place the container of cookies in the fridge overnight, or leave them out at room temperature for one to two hours. Gently rewarm them in the microwave if you want to refresh them.<\/p>\n<h2>Monster Cookies Tips<\/h2>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-large wp-image-1935256\" src=\"https:\/\/www.tasteofhome.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/01\/Giant-Monster-Cookies_FT23_158479_EC_111523_8-SS-Edit.jpg?fit=700%2C467\" alt=\"Giant Monster Cookies Ft23 158479 Ec 111523 8 Ss Edit\" width=\"700\" height=\"467\" data-recalc-dims=\"1\" \/><span class=\"credits-overlay\"><span class=\"image-credit noskim\">Taste Recipes<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<h3>Do these monster cookies spread during baking?<\/h3>\n<p>Yes, these monster cookies spread during baking.

At work, most are around 30 years old and eat these instead of the donuts that are brought in. Marathon and triathlon runners asks for these because mine are high in protein and complex carbs. I add chopped walnuts, use dark chocolate chips, no M & M's, use coconut sugar instead of brown sugar, coconut oil in place of butter and a Truvia in place of sugar. This way they have a very low glycemic index as well for those who are diabetic or anyone who wants to reduce sugar intake.","reviewRating":{"@context":"http:\/\/schema.org\/","@type":"Rating","ratingValue":5,"worstRating":1,"bestRating":5}},{"@context":"http:\/\/schema.org\/","@type":"Review","datePublished":"2019-11-27","author":{"@context":"http:\/\/schema.org\/","@type":"Person","name":"dbqbetty"},"reviewBody":"These cookies are a real hit with my family and friends.
