This recipe is an oldie but a goodie! It was actually one of the first cookie recipe posts that I did back when AFewShortcuts.com started in 2009. How crazy is that? Well, this Monster Cookie Recipe needed a facelift. Since this is one of our favorite cookies to make, it was not a big deal to whip up a batch and snap some fun pictures of these delicious cookies!

Monster cookies have a little bit of everything tucked inside. They have peanut butter, raisins, M&M’s chocolate chips and oats! The one thing they don’t have is gluten! That….is pretty awesome. Just be sure you are using a gluten-free oat. While oats are gluten-free naturally they are easily cross-contaminated. Funny when your kid has an allergy you learn all kinds of things like exactly how oats get glutened….a story for another day.

Monster cookies are one of my favorites because there is a surprise in every bite, and this recipe makes a ton of cookies. I used my cookie scoop and easily got 5 dozen cookies! You can pre-scoop and make your own freezer cookie dough or bake these all and freeze some of the baked cookies so they are ready to eat when you are!
