Peanut butter + oats + M&Ms = monster cookies! But this peanut butter cookie dough is a little different from our original monster cookies. They’re a little closer to these peanut butter cup oatmeal cookies. The difference? For this recipe, we use all brown sugar to keep the cookies extra soft and flavorful.
Tell Me About these Peanut Butter Cup Surprise Monster Cookies
Flavor: Peanut butter is front and center. You’ll love all the peanut butter flavor paired with chocolate from both the peanut butter cup and M&Ms. Texture: Thanks to the brown sugar, these cookies stay thick, soft, and extra chewy. Quick oats are responsible for the uniform texture. Make sure to use quick oats, NOT old-fashioned oats. Quick oats are smaller than old-fashioned oats and more finely ground. Tip: If you only have old-fashioned oats, just pulse them in your food processor a few times so they’re smaller. While regular M&M’s certainly work, we prefer the mini ones because you get more M&Ms in each monster bite. Ease: Start by making the easiest peanut butter cookie dough. Guess what? There’s no mixer required. And it gets better: there’s no dough chilling required either. The quicker you begin, the quicker you’ll be eating these peanut butter cup monster cookies. Time: No dough chilling makes this recipe one of the quickest and easiest cookies on our website. If you want cookies in a hurry, here are a few more time-saving cookie recipes that don’t require chilling. Snickerdoodles and shortbread cookies are two favorites!
