Bakery Style Monster Cookies
These are classic monster cookies, which means they're loaded with peanut butter, oats, chocolate chips, and M&Ms. The texture comes from creaming the butter and peanut butter with the sugars, which whips air into the dough and gives the cookies a thick, chewy body with soft centers and crisp edges.
Ingredients
- 2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda

- 2 teaspoons vanilla bean paste
- 1 cup old-fashioned oats

- Mix in peanut butter until combined, then add eggs and vanilla until just incorporated.

- Fold in oats, chocolate chips, and M&Ms.
- Chill dough 1 hour.
- Preheat oven to 375F and line baking sheet with parchment.
