Courtney's Monster Cookies

From: This Worthey Life

We love them and you can change out the M&M color based on the holiday so they are perfect for any occasion. 

EVERYTHING YOU NEED TO MAKE MONSTER COOKIES FROM SCRATCH

• 1 ½ cup of creamy peanut butter
• 1 cup of  sugar
• 1 cup of  brown sugar
• ½ cup of butter softened
• 1 tbs. sour cream
• 3 eggs
• ½ tsp. vanilla extract
• 4 ½ cup of rolled oats (not the quick-cooking variety)
• 2 tsp. baking soda
• 1 cup of chocolate chips
• 1 cup of  regular or baking M&M’s

DIRECTIONS ON MAKING HOMEMADE MONSTER COOKIES

1. Preheat your oven to 350 degrees.
2. In a large bowl combine the eggs, sugar and brown sugar. Mix well.
3. Next add the vanilla extract, peanut butter, butter, and sour cream. Mix well.
4. Add in the two tsp. of baking soda.
5. Slowly fold in your 4 ½ C. of rolled oats, mixing well.
6. Next, add in your 1 cup of chocolate chips and ¾ of the M&M’s.
7. Drop by large tablespoon onto a cookie sheet (I like to line mine with foil for super easy clean up) and gently press down into a more rounded shape. Press some of your extra M&M’s into the top of the cookie dough.
8. Bake for 10-12 minutes. Cookies will turn golden brown. Try not to over bake. They are even better if a little bit undercooked and not crunchy.

*Makes approximately three dozen cookies. Store in an airtight container 1-2 weeks. These cookies also freeze well.
