Monster Cookies


Oh me, oh my......these cookies are heavenly! They are incredible! Delicious! Scrumptious! WOW!!

Okay, so a few days ago we had a snow day - and my kids wanted to bake - and to this I never ever say no! My daughter wanted Rice Krispie Treats (yawn!) and my boys wanted chocolate chip cookies (getting warmer, but still yawn)....I just wanted to try something new! I knew the Pioneer Woman would have just what we were all looking for.  She has this recipe for Monster cookies that has chocolate chips, M&Ms, pb chips AND Rice Krispies in them.....we all looked at each other and said YES!!!! We all got what we wanted! The boys got chocolate, my daughter got Rice Krispies and I got to try a new recipe to blog.

Here is the Pioneer Woman's Monster Cookies recipe word for word:
  • 2 sticks (1/2 Pound) Butter (salted) Softened
  • 1/2 cup White Sugar
  • 1-1/2 cup Brown Sugar, Packed
  • 2 whole Large Eggs
  • 1 Tablespoon Vanilla Extract
  • 1-1/2 cup All-purpose Flour
  • 1/2 teaspoon Baking Soda
  • 1 teaspoon Baking Powder
  • 2 teaspoons Kosher Salt
  • 1-1/2 cup Oats (either Quick Or Regular)
  • 1/2 cup M & M's (more To Taste)
  • 1/2 cup Pecans, Chopped (more To Taste)
  • 3/4 cups Chocolate Chips (milk Or Semi-sweet)
  • 1/2 cup Peanut Butter Chips <I used cinnamon chips>
  • 2-1/4 cups Rice Krispies
Preheat oven to 375 degrees.

Cream butter with sugars until fluffy. Add eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. Add vanilla and beat.

Combine flour, baking soda, baking powder, and kosher salt. Add to mixing bowl and mix till combined. After that, add in remaining ingredients in whatever quantity you prefer. Add more nuts if you'd like, or more M & M's, more peanut butter chips or chocolate chips.

Add Rice Krispies at the very end, mixing until just combined. Do not overmix!

**<You guys know at this point I put my dough in the 'fridge for a couple hours>

Use a cookie scoop to scoop balls of dough onto a cookie sheet. Bake until golden brown, about 8 or 9 minutes, then allow to cool on a rack.
