Big Batch Monster Cookies
These cookies are a wonderfully satisfying treat. They are chewy with just a slight crunch at the edges but soft and gooey in the middle. The irresistible combination of chocolate, peanut butter and oats is out of this world good.
Ingredients
- 12 eggs
- 2 lbs brown sugar
- 4 cups white sugar
- 1 Tbsp vanilla
- 1 Tbsp white syrup
- 1 tsp salt
- 1 lb butter
- 3 lbs creamy peanut butter
- 42 oz quick oats
- 1 lb chocolate chips
- 2 11 oz bags plain M&M's
Instructions
- In a very large bowl or deep clean dishpan mix the softened butter and sugars together with a hand mixer until well combined.
- Mix the peanut butter in and then add the eggs, vanilla, salt and white syrup.
- Scrape down the sides of the pan frequently and once everything is mixed well, start adding the oats a little at a time. At this point, you will probably need to abandon the mixer and mix with a spoon.
- Once this is all mixed together add in the M&M’s and chocolate chips. Mix with the spoon until the candies and chocolate are distributed evenly.
- Use an ice cream scoop or large spoon to dip out ¼ cup or larger mounds of dough. Flatten the dough slightly with your hand if you wish for the cookies to be flatter.
- Bake for 12 to 18 minutes. Don’t overbake. The cookies should be just slightly browned around the edges and set in the middle.
- Let them cool for a few minutes on the cookie sheet and then remove to parchment or wax paper to cool down completely.
