These are scarily delicious. A funny pun since they are monster cookies. But they are monsters because of all the mouth wateringly delicious little tid bits I throw into them to make them so darn good.
One of the things I absolutely love in a cookie is something that whips up fast, cooks fast, and cleans up fast. My kids are not going to wait 25 minutes for a cookie to bake, which is why these 10 minute bake-time cookies are a big win at my house.
This recipe makes about 4 dozen cookies. I love peanut butter and oats, and tried to make the combo healthy by making peanut butter banana oat muffins, but for these cookies, I threw the healthy factor out the window and just went for flavor. Success!
There is just something about the creamy, sweet, nutty goodness of peanut butter combined with the richness of oats that gets to me every time, and when you have things like butter scotch chips, mini M&M’s and of course coconut (which by the way is totally optional for all you coconut haters out there), you get a completely satisfying and tasty cookie. I loved that it had enough heft that I was happy to just eat one, but was good enough that I wanted ten.
I baked up a batch just to take with me on a trip overseas, so I will let you know how they fare across the pond.
