Christmas Monster Cookies are peanut butter cookies with oatmeal, cinnamon, white chocolate chips, M&M candies, and holiday sprinkles added.

Ingredients

Scale

1 1/4 cups all-purpose flour

1 1/4 cups quick oats

1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder

1 teaspoon baking soda

1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon

1/4 teaspoon table salt

1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened

1/2 cup dark brown sugar

1/4 cup granulated sugar

3/4 cup creamy peanut butter

2 large eggs

1 tablespoon vanilla extract

1 cup red and green M&Ms, plus extra to press on top of the cookies before baking

1 cup white chocolate chips, plus extra to press on top of the cookies before baking

1 tablespoon holiday sprinkles

Instructions

  1. Position oven rack in upper and lower thirds of your oven. Preheat to 350 degrees F.
  2. Line two baking sheets with parchment paper. Set aside.
  3. In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, oats, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon, and salt. Set aside.
  4. In a mixing bowl, cream butter and both sugars on high until light and fluffy.
  5. Add peanut butter and mix again until completely smooth.
  6. Scrape sides of the mixing bowl, add eggs one at a time, then vanilla, mixing well after each addition.
  7. On low speed, slowly add in the dry ingredients, mixing just until combined.
  8. With a sturdy spatula or wooden spoon, stir in the M&Ms and white chocolate chips.
  9. Use a #40 scoop (2 tablespoons) to portion out the cookie dough and roll into balls.
  10. Arrange balls on cookie sheet, allowing about 2 inches in-between each portion. (We baked 8 cookies at a time on each baking sheet.)
  11. Press the cookie dough balls down slightly with a flat-bottomed glass, then place a few of the extra M&Ms and white chocolate chips on top, as well as a few of the holiday sprinkles.
  12. Bake two cookie sheets at a time 11 to 13 minutes, rotating and turning the pans halfway through.
  13. Remove cookie sheets from the oven when the cookies look barely set. Let cookies sit on the baking sheets for 5 minutes, then transfer to a cooling rack to set up and fully cook.
