Directions: |
Directions:Preheat the oven to 350 degrees Line two large baking sheets with Silpat baking mats or parchment paper. Set aside.
In a medium bowl, stir together the oats, flour, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.
Using a stand mixer or hand-held mixer, beat the butter, peanut butter, and sugars together until creamy and smooth, on medium speed. Scrape down the sides of the bowl with a spatula, if necessary. Beat in the egg and vanilla extract. Mix until well combined.
Add in the dry ingredients and mix on low until just until the combined. Don’t over mix. Gently stir in the chocolate chips and M&M’s.
Scoop the cookies into round balls, about 2 tablespoons of dough per cookie, and place on the prepared baking sheets, leaving 2 inches in between cookies. Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the cookies are lightly browned around the edges, but still soft in the middle.
Remove cookies from oven and sprinkle the cookies with sea salt. You can also gently press additional chocolate chips and M&M’s on top of the cookies to make them look extra pretty. Let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for about 5 minutes or until set. When set, transfer cookies to a wire rack and cool completely. |

Notes: These were one of my favorite cookies my MeMaw would make. It's been many years since I have had her cookies but every time I eat one I think of her.
To freeze the cookie dough, scoop the dough into balls and place onto a cookie sheet and pop them in the freezer for about an hour, just until they lose their stickiness and are mostly frozen. After that you can put them into a freezer-safe container or freezer bag! When you’re ready to bake, pull them out and bake as directed, just add a couple of minutes to the baking time.
To freeze baked cookies, place cooled cookies in a freezer container or freezer bag and freeze for up to 2 months. Defrost and enjoy or you can even eat them frozen! I love frozen monster cookies!
