Monster cookies

I’ve always wanted to make these cookies but for some reason have never gotten around to it. So I thought with Halloween right around the corner, now would be a perfect time to try them out!
In searching recipes for this fun filled cookie, I came across “Pioneer Women’s” version, and it was my favorite by far.
Here’s her recipe:
Ingredients:

• 2 sticks (1/2 Pound) Butter (salted) Softened
• 1/2 cup White Sugar
• 1-1/2 cup Brown Sugar, Packed
• 2 whole Large Eggs
• 1 Tablespoon Vanilla Extract
• 1-1/2 cup All-purpose Flour
• 1/2 teaspoon Baking Soda
• 1 teaspoon Baking Powder
• 2 teaspoons Kosher Salt
• 1-1/2 cup Oats (either Quick Or Regular)
• 1/2 cup M & M’s (more To Taste)
• 1/2 cup Pecans, Chopped (more To Taste)
• 3/4 cups Chocolate Chips (milk Or Semi-sweet)
• 1/2 cup Peanut Butter Chips
• 2-1/4 cups Rice Krispies

Directions:
Preheat oven to 375 degrees.
Cream butter with sugars until fluffy. Add eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. Add vanilla and beat.
Combine flour, baking soda, baking powder, and kosher salt. Add to mixing bowl and mix till combined. After that, add in remaining ingredients in whatever quantity you prefer. Add more nuts if you’d like, or more M & M’s, more peanut butter chips or chocolate chips.
Add Rice Crispies at the very end, mixing until just combined. Do not overmix!

Use a cookie scoop to scoop balls of dough onto a cookie sheet. Bake until golden brown, then allow to cool on a rack.

I didn’t have ALL the ingredients on hand, so I made them sans the pecans. They came out wonderful! This may be a new favorite of mine. The kids loved them. We brought them to our church small group. I even packaged up a few cookies in a cute little treat bag and gave them to our mailman!

I hope you enjoy these cookies as much as I did!
