These Monster Cookies are always popular and I love the great texture from the oats and the subtle peanut butter flavor.<\/p><p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Why are they called Monster cookies?<\/p><p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">There\u2019s not an exact answer for why these cookies are called \u201cMonster\u201d Cookies. Some people think it\u2019s because they look like monsters, with their bumpy texture and fun colors. I like to think it\u2019s because they\u2019re stuffed with so much \u201cstuff\u201d, making them the \u201cmonster\u201d of all cookies. Whatever the reason, all Monster Cookies have these ingredients in common: peanut butter, oats, chocolate chips and m&amp;m chocolate candy.<\/p><p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" srcset=\"https:\/\/tastesbetterfromscratch.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/05\/Monster-Cookies-4.jpg 683w, https:\/\/tastesbetterfromscratch.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/05\/Monster-Cookies-4-200x300.jpg 200w, https:\/\/tastesbetterfromscratch.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/05\/Monster-Cookies-4-150x225.jpg 150w, https:\/\/tastesbetterfromscratch.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/05\/Monster-Cookies-4-400x600.jpg 400w\" width=\"750\" height=\"1125\" src=\"https:\/\/tastesbetterfromscratch.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/05\/Monster-Cookies-4.jpg\" alt=\"The ingredients for monster cookies including a measuring cup with peanut butter, a small bowl of rolled oats, and a pile of chocolate chips and m&amp;m's.\"><\/p><p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">How to keep the cookies from spreading?<\/p><p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">During baking, cookies naturally spread, but the key is to make sure they don\u2019t spread too much.\u00a0 To keep your monster cookies from spreading, be sure to use exact measurements (no guesstimating) and use room temperature ingredients, particularly the butter and eggs.\u00a0 You can also stop cookies from getting flat by chilling the dough for at least 15minutes before baking. Longer the cookies rest, they spread less.<\/p><figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"683\" height=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/web.svarc.school\/via\/rihova\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/image-1.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-68\" srcset=\"https:\/\/web.svarc.school\/via\/rihova\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/image-1.png 683w, https:\/\/web.svarc.school\/via\/rihova\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/image-1-200x300.png 200w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 683px) 100vw, 683px\" \/><\/figure>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>These Thick and Chewy Monster Cookies are loaded with peanut butter, oats, M&amp;M\u2019s and chocolate chips.
