Valentine Monster Cookies
Soft and chewy peanut butter-oatmeal cookies stuffed with semi-sweet chocolate chips and M&M's Milk Chocolate Candies with a Valentine's Day twist.
Ingredients
- ¾ cup all-purpose flour
- 1 cup old fashioned oats, uncooked
- ½ teaspoon baking soda
- ½ cup unsalted butter, softened
- ½ cup granulated sugar
- ½ cup brown sugar, packed
- ¾ cup creamy peanut butter
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 large egg, at room temperature
- ½ cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
- ½ cup M&M's Cupid's Mix Milk Chocolate Candies, plus more for tops of cookies
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350F degrees.
- In a medium-size bowl, whisk together flour, old fashioned oats, and baking soda. Set aside.
- In a large bowl using an electric mixer, cream together butter and sugars on medium speed; until light and fluffy. Add peanut butter, vanilla extract, and egg; mix until combined.
- Slowly add flour mixture to wet ingredients; mix just until combined. Fold in semi-sweet chocolate chips and M&M's Milk Chocolate Candies.
- Scoop dough into 2 teaspoon balls, or use a #40 disher to scoop balls of dough. Place dough on an ungreased baking sheet or silicone mat/parchment paper-lined baking sheet. Slightly flatten dough balls with the bottom of a cup and add a few M&M's candies on top.
- Bake 12-14 minutes or until barely golden brown around the edges. Do not overbake. The tops will not brown. Cookies may appear to be soft and undone, but they will set as they cool.
- Cool cookies on baking sheet for 5 minutes; transfer to a wire rack to cool completely. Eat & Enjoy!
