Equipment
  • 1 parchment paper
  • 1 large mixing bowl
Ingredients
  
  • 1/2 cup 1 stick butter, softened
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 cup light brown sugar
  • 1 12-ounce jar creamy peanut butter
  • 3 large eggs
  • 1 tablespoon vanilla extract
  • 2 teaspoons baking soda
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 4 1/2 cups quick-cooking oatmeal
  • 1/2 cup chocolate chips
  • 1/2 cup candy-covered plain chocolate candies such as M&Ms
  • 1/4 cup raisins optional
  • 1/4 cup chopped nuts any kind, optional
Instructions
 
  • Prep your ingredients: Preheat your oven to 350°F (approximately 180°C); then prepare your cookie sheets using parchment paper or nonstick baking mats.
    This is essential for easy cookie removal once they're baked.
  • In a large mixing bowl, add and mix the wet ingredients: softened butter, granulated sugar, light brown sugar, eggs, vanilla extract, and the creamy peanut butter.
    Ensure that these ingredients are well combined.
    Once the wet ingredients are properly mixed, it's time to add the dry ingredients.
    Stir in the baking soda, salt, and quick-cooking oatmeal.
  • Make sure the mixture becomes evenly incorporated—this forms the cookie dough.
    To the cookie dough you have just made, add the chocolate chips, candy-covered chocolate candies, raisins (if using), and nuts (if using).
    Mix these extras thoroughly into the dough.
  • With the dough ready, use a tablespoon to drop spoonfuls of dough onto the prepared cookie sheets.
    You can gently shape each dough scoop into balls if you prefer.
    Place the cookie sheets into the preheated oven.
  • Allow the Monster Cookies to bake for about 10-12 minutes until they turn golden and are slightly firm.
    Keep in mind that baking time may vary slightly depending on your oven.
    Remember to let your Paula Deen Monster Cookies cool on the baking sheets for a few minutes before transferring them to wire racks to cool completely.
    Enjoy your creations!
