Peanut Butter M&M Jekyll & Hyde Monster Cookies (FOOD PHOTO SHOOT)

in #food7 years ago

Wow guys, is it really this time of year already?

I feel like I’ve been waiting for it for so long, talking about it so much, and looking forward to it with such excitement that I truly can’t believe it’s here already. How can your favorite time of year feel so unexpected? That’s a rhetorical question, I’m just having a moment.

I love how the crisp Fall air of late September always brings with it memories of pumpkin spice and spooky ghost stories. Am I making any sense? Probably not, but since when do I make much sense?

Anyway, I love making some childishly fun recipes for Halloween, and I’m still excited to share these fun cookies with you!

I’m guessing most of you are familiar with monster cookies, but in case you aren’t they are basically hybrids of chocolate chip cookies, oatmeal cookies, peanut butter cookies, and M&M cookies. I was originally just going to share the traditional ones but the….. I had an idea (those four words can be quite dangerous). I wanted to use my personal favorite M&Ms, peanut butter, and once I’d thought of it I knew it had to happen.

However, then it seemed like I might be messing up the chocolate balance of the cookies and that’s why I decided to make some of the dough chocolate. After that it was obvious they needed to be upgraded from one tone monster cookies to half and half cookies, aka Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde cookies!!! I’m not gonna lie, I felt pretty proud of my genius on this one.

Okay, so these are super easy to make. You can also choose to leave them as traditional monster cookies or make them all chocolate monster cookies, but I’m sort of partial to the double-sided ones myself. Maybe that’s just because I am so indecisive though, I really am guys. Also, these are a fun thing to make for October but they are also perfect for every other time of year too!

Recipe, Please. have a good night!!!

Thanks @andresfnl, you too!

Ingredients

1 cup (2 sticks butter), softened
1 cup sugar
1 cup packed brown sugar
2 eggs
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon baking soda
1/4 cup peanut butter
3 cups all-purpose flour
3 cups rolled oats
3 tablespoons cocoa powder
1 cup peanut butter M&Ms
3/4 semi-sweet dark chocolate chips (or chopped chocolate)

Instructions

  1. Pre-heat oven to 350 degrees F (180 C). Cream butter and sugars together in the bowl of stand mixer fitted with beater attachment. Beat in eggs one at a time. Add salt, soda, vanilla, and peanut butter and beat until smooth. Add flour one cup at a time, then oats and beat until evenly mixed.
  2. Divide the dough in half and place one half in a separate bowl. Mix the cocoa powder into the half still in mixing bowl until combined. Add half of the M&Ms and half of the chocolate chips to each bowl of dough and stir until they are evenly distributed throughout the dough.
  3. Roll or scoop the dough into 1 inch-ish (about 2 tablespoons each) balls and place on parchment lined cookie sheet about 2 inches apart. [For the double-sided ones, use a sharp knife to cut one ball of each flavor dough in half so that you have 4 half balls,(2 of each color). Alternate the colors by putting the chocolate halves with the plain halves so that you have 2 double-sided dough balls and place them back on the tray]
  4. Use your palm to slightly press down the cookies and flatten tops. Bake for 8 - 10 minutes until edges are just beginning to brown. Remove from oven and leave on pan for about 5 minutes, then remove to cooling rack.
