Leila decided that she wanted to make monster cookies for her birthday dessert. I had just gotten recommendations about this website for great recipes and decided to try it.
Monster Cookies
2 sticks butter - softened
1 cup dark brown sugar
1/2 cup sugar
2 large eggs, plus 1 egg yolk
1 T vanilla
2 cup flour
2 tsp baking soda
2 tsp baking powder
1/2 tsp salt
2 cup old fashioned oats
1 1/4 cup M&M’s
1 cup pretzel sticks - crushed
1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
1/2 cup white chocolate chips
Preheat the oven to 350°. 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 chips. 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.
