Enjoy these monster cookies; a peanut butter oatmeal chocolate chip and M&Ms cookie; for two with a large glass of milk.
What is a monster cookie, you might ask? A monster cookie is typically a peanut butter oatmeal cookie with chocolate chips and m&ms.
You can also throw in some extra ingredients too – nuts, raisins, whatever you have around the house really. I didn’t have m&ms when I made these so I decided to toss in some peanut butter chips instead. Like I said, use whatever you have around.
Once again this is a perfect recipe for two. A monster cookie for two recipe! It makes just 4 cookies, so you can share the cookies with a friend, or gobble them all up by yourself before anyone else is looking.

Girl, you are killing me with all these cookies for two recipes. I have loved every one I’ve tried (choc chip, oatmeal, monster). Lol. Does it still count as portion control if I make a different one every night?
Aimee says
Umm yes. That’s totally what portion control is about 😉

I pinned this recipe over a year ago and have enjoyed making these cookies several times. I only wish I had a recipe for a regular sized batch! I’ve thought about just trying to multiply the amounts of each ingredient, but I’m no chef. Do you have a recipe for a regular size batch of these monster cookies? I would love you forever. 😉
Aimee Berrett says
I’m so glad you’ve made them and love them! I actually don’t have a regular batch of these monster cookies right now, but I’ll put it on my to do list for you!

I was craving cookies big time tonight….my husband and I just enjoyed those delicious cookies! Thanks for the recipe and for helping satisfy the craving responsibly 🙂
Michelle says
Is it just 1 egg yolk because its only 4 cookies? Say I wanted to double the recipe, would it be ok to use the whole egg, or should I stick with 2 yolks? Thanks
Aimee Berrett says
Michelle, I’m not exactly sure, but I think 1 large egg should work for 8 cookies instead of the yolk for 4. The yolk is a little bigger than the white though, so it might not be exactly right, but I think it would work (just don’t automatically dump all the flour in, add a bit then add like a tablespoon or a half at a time incase its not quite exactly doubled)
Megan says
Oh. My. Goodness. I just stuck what was left of the dough 😉 in the oven and they smell like peanut butter heaven. My husband and I are just fidgeting in the kitchen waiting for them to finish! Yummm!
Aimee Berrett says
Ooh I hope you like them!!!
