Monster Cookies - Two Peas & Their Pod (2024)

Simple and tasty. Will triple next bake, I would like to freeze a third of the dough to see how it does.

I have a monster cookie recipe that makes 144 large cookies & doesn’t use flour at all. I’ll have to try yours & compare.

Made these yesterday..so yummy. I used some left over Christmas M&M’s but sorted out the green for a St. Pat’s salute and also added chopped up Trader Joe’s mini PB cups and some mini chocolate chips. I tested one and quickly gifted the rest…too tempting to have in the house they were that good.
Thanks for sharing!

Can I just omit the peanut butter or do I need to make a substitution of something else?

Would these cookies turn out with it I cut the sugar in half? It seems they would be sweet enough with the chocolate chips and candy.

If we only have quick oats on hand, and don’t want to go to the store…will it work? Maybe use a little more? Thanks!

Hi Maria,
I’m hoping that you, Josh, Maxwell and Caleb are all okay. I just heard about the earthquake and the effect it had on SLC! You bring such happiness to my home all the time and I just wanted you to know we are thinking about you. That was the last thing you all needed on top of the Corona Virus!!

These were delicious!! Very easy to make and so good!

Thanks for the recipe! We love Monster Cookies!! I gifted to a family who just found out their son has celiac disease and they were thrilled that they were gluten free! Super addictive!!

We have the first batch in the oven right now and delivering it to some of our military family friends on camp for our Sunday Service Activity 🙂 The rest of the batch will be baked and frozen for after school snacks this coming week Thank you for sharing Maria!. You are truly the queen of cookies

Delicious! Great taste and texture–chewy on the outside, soft in the middle!

How can I make it without the peanut butter? These look amazing but we have a nut allergy in our house.

Hi Maria,
I baked these cookies and my family loved them! I realized later that they are in your cookbook. Everything is basically doubled in the cookbook except the flour. I’m curious if there is a reason. If I made this ratio, the flour would be 1 cup in the cookbook version. Which is right for the recipe? Should I adjust my cookbook recipe?

It was my very first time making cookies and this recipe turned out just perfectly! I just changed the old-fashioned oats for quick oats (because that’s what I had on hand) and didn’t use brown sugar but still loved the result! Thank you for sharing! Greetings from El Salvador ❤

These cookies are AMAZING! I can’t wait to make them again.

I’ve made these twice now and they are DELICIOUS! Everyone who tries these cookies loves them 🙂 This time I did a mix of regular-sized M&Ms and the mini ones for fun (still keeping the total M&Ms at 3/4 cup). Definitely recommend adding the extra M&Ms on top as well as the directions suggest!

Do you think crunchy pb would work? I accidently bought a small jar and need to use it up.

These were very hard and dry. Next time I will add 1 or 2 more eggs and some more peanut butter.

First time making monster cookies, they were a hit! Perfect texture and flavor.

Delicious and very easy to make. The sprinkle of flaked salt puts these over the top 🙂 Thanks for the great recipe!

Can I make them larger? Instructions?

Best monster cookie I’ve made… next time I’m adding pecans.

Can you put them into a 9×13 pan and cut them into bars?

I made this recipe today and they turned out great. Taste great even though dairy free.

These are amazing! I made them for our small group and they were devoured. I’ll def make a 2X batch next time!

Hi Maria,
I baked these cookies a few days ago and they are so so delicious!! (And dangerous!!). I was happy with the amount of peanut butter flavour in the recipe because it wasn’t overpowering. Sometimes all you taste is the peanut butter….perfect ratio!! Thanks and keep the cookie recipes coming!!

Made these yesterday and used Valentines peanut butter m&m’s that were roughly chopped, finely chopped pecans, and semi sweet chocolate chunks and they’re a hit!! I cut the baking time by 2 minutes and they turned out perfect. Thank you for a great recipe!

I just tried these. I used not quite 3/4c mini M&M and 1/2 cup Reese mini cup in half. I found cookies extremely sweet ! I loosely put a 1/2 c of brown not even packed. I think next time I will omit the granular sugar completely. And i made them with a tsp and still got over 3 dozen decent size cookies Otherwise good cookies!

My kids love these cookies!! They request these all the time. These are the best and so easy! I make a triple batch every time. Would highly recommend!!

I made these for my boyfriend’s work event today and they were a HUGE HIT! Every person who ate them complimented them multiple times, and kept asking for the recipe. I doubled the recipe and used a combo of peanut butter m&m’s, mini m&m’s, mini chocolate chips, and peanut butter chips. The sprinkle of sea salt was a perfect touch too.

I substituted the peanut butter for Wowbutter( Soy butter) because my kids are both allergic to nuts. Turned out perfectly and tasted wonderful!

Excellent cookies !!

Can I exchange almond butter for peanut butter?

The Mega Monster Cookie version from the cookbook was one of the first cookies I made from you and I’ve been hooked on all your cookies since. The recipe is easy to follow and so delicious. All my co-workers love them when I bring them in.

I made these and triple checked that I followed the recipe and the batter was so loose that they spread completely flat. Wondering if chilling the batter would help that or adding more flour. The taste is great.

These cookies have become so beloved in our household that my 13 year old son has printed out the recipe to store with our baking supplies. He willingly helps (or makes them himself) because he likes them so much. And I much prefer that he eats cookies containing peanut butter & oatmeal over typical sugar/butter/flour varieties. I use mini m&m’s and mini chips, sometimes adding in extra ingredients like nuts & other flavor chips for fun.

Made these cookies exactly as the recipe states. They were absolutely perfect. My family couldn’t stop eating them. I used my 1.5 Tsp scoop and got about 25 cookies out of the recipe. I baked them until the edges started to brown, then pulled them out of the oven and sprinkled with flaked sea salt. Perfection. This recipe is a keeper.

This is a great recipe! I took your advice and added some peanut butter chips. They look amazing and taste even better. Thanks for another amazing cookie!
