Delight your cookie monsters with loaded monster cookies bursting with oats, raisins, peanuts, and chocolate.
Ingredients:
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 cup packed brown sugar
  • 1 cup peanut butter
  • 1/2 cup butter or margarine, softened
  • 1/2 cup butter-flavor or regular shortening
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla
  • 2 eggs
  • 1 1/2 cups quick-cooking or old-fashioned oats
  • 2 cups Gold Medal™ all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 2 cups candy-coated chocolate candies
  • 1 cup peanuts
  • 3/4 cup raisins
Instructions:
  • Preheat the oven to 375°F. In a large bowl, use an electric mixer on medium speed to combine sugars, peanut butter, butter, shortening, vanilla, and eggs until smooth. Mix in oats, then add flour, baking powder, and baking soda until well combined. Fold in candies, peanuts, and raisins evenly.
  • Place dollops of dough slightly smaller than 1/4 cup onto a cookie sheet, spacing them 2 inches apart. Use the bottom of a glass to gently flatten each to 3/4-inch thickness.
  • Bake the cookies for 12 to 14 minutes until set and lightly browned. Let them cool for 2 minutes, then transfer to a cooling rack.
