"Monster Cookies 🎄soft and gooey in the center with just a little pretzelly crunch, pockets of chocolate and Holiday M&M’s throughout. Easy and delicious."
Tim's Notes
We used a scoop that was smaller than 1/4 cup and the yield was 31 cookies. The dough was quite stiff and folding in the candy pieces wasn't much fun. Use the parchment paper; the cookies slide right off. These are tasty cookies, but mine didn't look quite the same as those shown at the original source.
Yield: 20 cookies
Ingredients
- 2 sticks (1 cup) salted butter at room temperature
- 1 cup dark brown sugar
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 2 large eggs, plus 1 egg yolk
- 1 tablespoon vanilla extract
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 2 teaspoons baking soda
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
- 2 cups old fashioned oats
- 1-1/4 cups holiday M&M’s
- 1 cup mini pretzel sticks, crushed
- 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips or chunks
- 1/2 cup white chocolate chips
Directions
- Preheat the oven to 350° F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a large mixing bowl, beat together the butter, brown sugar, granulated sugar, and vanilla until combined. Beat in the eggs and 1 egg yolk, 1 at a time, until combined. Add the flour, baking soda, baking powder, and salt. Beat in the oats.
- Fold in 1 cup of the M&M's, the pretzels, chocolate chips, and white chocolate.
- Roll the dough into 1/4 cup size balls. Place 3 inches apart on the prepared baking sheet.
- Transfer to the oven and bake for 8 minutes, then rotate the pan and bake another 2 minutes. Pull the pan out and push the remaining M&M's into the cookies. Bake 2-3 minutes. Remove from the oven and let the cookies cool on the baking sheet. They will continue to cook slightly as they sit on the baking sheet.
- Eat warm (highly recommended) or let cool and store in an airtight container for up to 4 days.
