Thick and Chewy Monster Cookies

Step 1

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.

Step 2

Cream the butter and sugar together really well—at least 2-3 minutes until light and fluffy.

Step 3

Add peanut butter and mix well. Add egg and vanilla and mix.

Step 4

In a separate mixing bowl stir together the flour, oats, salt, baking powder and baking soda.  (Be extra careful not to add too much flour).

Step 5

Add to the wet mixture and mix to combine. Stir in chocolate chips and M&M’s.

Step 6

Bake at 350 degrees for 10-12 minutes, or a little longer if you make them bigger than a 1 inch cookie scoop. Don't over bake--they will look just set.

Step 7

Remove them from the oven and allow them to cool completely on the pan.
