Ingredients You'll Need: 

• 1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter, softened 

• 1 cup creamy peanut butter 

• 1 cup granulated sugar 

• 1 cup packed light brown sugar 

• 3 large eggs 

• 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract 

• 4 1/2 cups old-fashioned rolled oats 

• 2 teaspoons baking soda 

• 1/2 teaspoon salt 

• 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips 

• 1 cup M&M's or Smarties candies 

• 1/2 cup chopped nuts (pecans or walnuts) - optional, for added crunch 

Let the Baking Begin! 

• Preheat and Prep: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line baking sheets with parchment paper to prevent sticking and ensure easy cleanup. 

• Creaming the Butter and Peanut Butter: In a large mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter and creamy peanut butter until smooth and well combined. This is where the magic begins! 

• Add Sweetness: Incorporate the granulated sugar and packed light brown sugar into the creamy mixture. Continue to beat until the sugars are fully integrated, creating a smooth and creamy base for your cookies. 

• Egg-cellent Addition: Now, add the eggs, one at a time, mixing well after each addition. As you beat in the eggs, the mixture will become even richer and more velvety

• . 

• Vanilla Magic: Stir in the pure vanilla extract, which will infuse the dough with a delightful aroma and enhance the overall flavor profile of your Monster Cookies. 

• Dry Ingredients Mix: In a separate bowl, whisk together the old-fashioned rolled oats, baking soda, and salt. This ensures even distribution of the leavening agents and helps create a uniform texture in your cookies. 

• Blend and Fold: Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture in the large bowl. Use a spatula to gently fold and combine the ingredients until everything comes together in a monster-sized dough. 

• Chocolate & Candies Invasion: Now comes the fun part! Add the semi-sweet chocolate chips, M&M's or Smarties candies, and chopped nuts (if using) to the dough. Carefully fold them in to distribute the colorful gems throughout the cookie dough. 

• Scoop and Drop: Using a cookie scoop or tablespoon, drop rounded portions of dough onto the lined baking sheets. 

• Bake to Perfection: Slide the baking sheets into the preheated oven and let the cookies bake for about 10-12 minutes or until the edges turn golden brown. Keep an eye on them to prevent over-baking, as the centers should remain soft and chewy. 

• Cooling Zen: Once baked to perfection, remove the cookies from the oven and allow them to cool on the baking sheets for a few minutes.
