Santa's Favorite Monster Cookies

Step 1

Preheat oven to 350°F. Line baking sheet with parchment paper.

Step 2

In a bowl cream together white and brown sugar with the butter until combined well and light and fluffy.

Step 3

Beat eggs in one at a time and then beat in peanut butter, vanilla, cinnamon, baking soda, and salt until combined.

Step 4

Add in the oats and mix together until combined well.

Step 5

Stir in m&m's and chocolate chips.

Step 6

Scoop 3 tablespoon sized cookie mounds onto cookie sheet and space them about two inches apart otherwise they will run into each other.

Step 7

Bake the cookies for 12 minutes then remove them from the oven and allow them to cool for at least 10 minutes on the cookie sheet before moving them to a cooling rack to finish cooling. *The key to most cookie baking is having them almost under baked a bit when removing from the oven and slowly finish "baking" just enough while on the cookie sheet. The perfect texture!!
