From Cookie Monster Cookies, now to these Giant Monster Cookies! I love making BIG cookies. These Giant Monster Cookies are peanut butter dough based and are loaded up with chocolate chips and M&M’s! They are fairly easy to make and all come together in one bowl with no chilling required, which quite honestly is one of my favorite parts.

The peanut butter in these cookies leave them perfectly soft and a little crumbly. I was sure to swap out all of the sugar for sweetener based alternatives. You should be able to use whichever brand you enjoy the most. My natural sweetener is stevia based and measures cup-for-cup like sugar, but the brown sugar blend that I currently have uses half of what standard brown sugar calls for.

Since these cookies are so big, I’ve set them to two servings per cookie. Yes, they are really that big. A heaping 1/2 cup of cookie dough is used for each one and trust me when I say it would be tasty but also difficult to make through a whole one!

These cookies are a nice treat or snack to have on hand. I’ve enjoyed them at lunch time for the past couple of days and I’m looking forward to one again today.

Monster cookies with M&M's, chocolate chips, oats, and peanut butter - only in GIANT form!

Ingredients

1/2 C. Butter
1/4 C. Brown Sugar/Stevia Blend
1/4 C. Natural Sweetener
3/4 C. Creamy Peanut Butter
1 Whole Large Egg
1 Tsp. Vanilla Extract
1/2 Tsp. Baking Soda
1 1/4 C. Flour
1/2 C. Quick Oats
3/4 C. M&M's
1/2 C. Semi-Sweet Chocolate Chips

Instructions

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees and line a cookie sheet with foil or silicone baking mat; set aside.
In the base of a stand mixer, beat together the 1/2 C. Butter, 1/4 C. Brown Sugar/Stevia Blend, and 1/4 C. Natural Sweetener at medium speed until light and fluffy.
Add in the 3/4 C. Creamy Peanut Butter, 1 Whole Large Egg, and 1 Tsp. Vanilla Extract and continue to beat until well combined.

Finally, fold in the 1/2 C. Quick Oats, 3/4 C. M&M's, and 1/2 C. Semi-Sweet Chocolate Chips.
Scoop the dough out in 1/2 C. amounts an shape into a ball. Flatten slightly and place onto the prepared baking sheet. (I got exactly 6 giant cookies.)
Transfer the baking sheet to the oven and bake for about 15 minutes or until the edges are just starting to brown.
Once done, remove from the oven and allow to cool on the baking sheet.
Enjoy warm or store in a cool dry place for 3-5 days.
