These ultimate monster cookies are filled with oats, chocolate chips, peanut butter, and M & M’s and are so easy!
I always think of these monster cookies during summer. I’m not sure if it is because my sister and I would help Mama make them before friends came over to play or if it is because I’ve kind of continued the tradition of making them for Sam and his friends. They are packed full of flavors that we loved growing up and Sam and his friends love just as much as we did!
But seriously? What’s not to love in these things? I’ve certainly not found anything!
Every single bite is filled with deliciousness!
This recipe makes about two dozen medium size cookies, using a two tablespoon cookie scoop, but can easily be halved if you want to make just a few or doubled or tripled even if you are making them for a party or a large group.
I love doubling the recipe, making half to bake immediately and then portion out the remainder, flash freezing on the cookie tray in the freezer for about 15 minutes and then placing them into a zip top bag in the freezer to use later. Then, you can simply remove however much of the frozen cookie dough you need for a bake and serve cookie in a jiffy!
Easy, peasy!
Here’s how I make my Ultimate Monster Cookie recipe. I hope you love them as much as we all do!

Great recipe! Add more flour for higher elevations, I needed to add almost 1/2 cup more of flour.
I just made these but think I may have done something wrong? Flavor is great but they did not spread when baking to look like the picture and the batter is pretty dry. 2 c. of flour and 2 c. of oats seems like a lot. Is this correct? Otherwise great recipe!
1/2 cup flour. 🙂

Wow, these are indeed monster cookies! Perfect for nourishing my inner cookie monster, when it comes out. Thanks for sharing!
Hey , Where’s that kitchen picture that I saw on here one time. It had white cabinets, a beverage area, some glass in the upper cabinets, etc…..I wanted to show Roger an idea for our home…..
I feel like the cookie monster! I want all of these cookies all the time! Is it sad that I just recently discovered freezing the extra dough? I usually make all the cookies and get stuck eating them all… whoops 🙂
Um…..yum! These look so chewy and delish!
