Christmas Monster Cookies
Christmas Monster Cookies are peanut butter cookies with oatmeal, cinnamon, white chocolate chips, M&M candies, and holiday sprinkles added.
Ingredients
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
- Position oven rack in upper and lower thirds of your oven. Preheat to 350 degrees F.
- Line two baking sheets with parchment paper. Set aside.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, oats, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon, and salt. Set aside.
- In a mixing bowl, cream butter and both sugars on high until light and fluffy.
- Add peanut butter and mix again until completely smooth.
- Scrape sides of the mixing bowl, add eggs one at a time, then vanilla, mixing well after each addition.
- On low speed, slowly add in the dry ingredients, mixing just until combined.
- With a sturdy spatula or wooden spoon, stir in the M&Ms and white chocolate chips.
- Use a #40 scoop (2 tablespoons) to portion out the cookie dough and roll into balls.
- Arrange balls on cookie sheet, allowing about 2 inches in-between each portion. (We baked 8 cookies at a time on each baking sheet.)
- 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.
- Bake two cookie sheets at a time 11 to 13 minutes, rotating and turning the pans halfway through.
- 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.
