Grandma’s Monster Cookies Recipe posted by Staff Writer Pin Share Tweet Email Jump to Recipe Super thick and chewy oatmeal peanut butter cookies with M&Ms and melty chocolate chips. **This recipe was originally published in 2015 in my 12 days of Christmas series! But since I love these cookies so much, I thought I’d share them again now. Enjoy! Recipe 10! Wowza. We’re almost all the way through the 12 Days of Christmas Cookies. And you know what? I’m not even tired of cookies yet! Are you? Of course not. Such a silly question. I’ve actually published this recipe on my blog before way back when. But this Christmas Cookie series just wouldn’t be the same without my Grandma’s monster cookies making an appearance. And they needed a little makeover anyway. Red and greed look good on these cookies, don’tcha think? My Grandma has been making this monster cookie recipe for our holidays ever since I can remember, and this is my all time favorite recipe. I’ve never eaten a chewier, more peanut butter-y monster cookie than these. In my book, it is truly a perfect recipe! The only change I’ve made from my grandmother’s original recipe is that I’ve pared it down quite a bit. Her recipe makes about 8 dozen cookies (8 DOZEN!!! ????). I quartered it, so that you’ll get a “heavy” 2 dozen out of this version. Believe it or not, even pared down, we’ve managed to stuff an ENTIRE bag of M&MS and and entire bag of chocolate chips into this recipe! And this hearty peanut butter and oatmeal dough really holds up to the task. Ok. So this recipe is smaller and more manageable, it’s chewy and full of chocolate, one more thing… This recipe is actually my favorite kind of cookie recipe: EASY. You don’t have to chill the dough and there’s no special trick to mix it up. Just mix the ingredients (in one bowl), scoop, and bake! This is one of those recipes that is truly near and dear to my heart, and I know it will find it way into yours! I think it’s the best cookie in the entire world.
