These Thick & Chewy Monster Cookies are one of my favorites! Huge, soft and buttery, they're fully loaded with peanut butter, chocolate chips, oats and mini M&M's for a wonderful blend of great texture and flavor!

Ingredients
1/2cup(1 stick) buttersoftened
1/2cupcreamy peanut butter
3/4cupbrown sugar
1/4cupwhite sugar
2eggs
1Tbspvanilla extract
1tspbaking soda
2tspcornstarch
1½cupsall-purpose flour
1cupold-fashioned oats
1cupminiature M&M's candies
1cupsemi-sweet or dark chocolate chips
Instructions
In the bowl of a stand mixer, cream together the butter and peanut butter until smooth. Add in the brown sugar & sugar, creaming together until combined. Add in the eggs and vanilla, beating well. Then add in the baking soda, cornstarch and flour, mixing until combined. Mix in the oats, M&M's and chocolate chips last until just combined.
Cover and refrigerate dough for at LEAST 1 hour, up to overnight.
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Line 2 baking sheets with parchment or silicone liners, or spray lightly with cooking spray. Drop heaping 1/4 cup-sized balls of dough onto the baking sheets, about 2-3" apart. Bake for approx. 12-14 minutes, rotating pans halfway through baking time to ensure even cooking. Cookies may appear slightly undone in the center; this is normal and they'll continue to set as they cool. Cool on the racks. Serve warm or at room temperature.
