What are monster cookies?
Monster cookies are soft morsels that have everything but the kitchen sink in them, which is how they got their name. Ingredients in these cookies are yummy because there are so many tastes and textures in them.
Ingredients:
- granulated sugar
- butter
- creamy peanut butter
- vanilla extract
- eggs
- all-purpose flour

Optional Additional Flavors: Mini chocolate chips, salty pretzels, gummy worms, mini marshmallows, peanut butter chips, chopped dark chocolate, candy canes or candy bar pieces.
How to Make Monster Cookies:
- In a large bowl, combine the sugar, butter and peanut butter. Use an electric mixer and mix together until creamy, and then add the vanilla and eggs. Continue mixing together until light and fluffy.
- In a separate bowl combine the flour, oats, salt, baking powder, and baking soda. Slowly add flour mixture into the creamy mixture. Mix until well combined.
- Next pour the chocolate chips and mini m and m's into the mixture and stir until candies are evenly mixed into the dough.
- Use a cookie scoop or large spoon to form balls of dough, about 1 ½ inches in diameter. Place all uniform dough balls in your air fryer basket place a piece of parchment paper. Leave about 1 inch between cookies for room to spread.
- Air Fry at 320 degrees F for 6-8 minutes, until cookies are golden brown. Let cookies rest for 1-2 minutes before removing them from the air fryer basket.
- Gently lift parchment paper with cookies, and place on a wire rack or counter top to continue cooling while you air fry the next batch.
I make this recipe in my Cosori 5.8 qt. air fryer. Depending on your air fryer, size and wattages, cooking time may need to be adjusted 1-2 minutes.
FAQ's
Your imagination is the only limitation when making this cookie so whatever flavors you enjoy just go for it and make an exceptional monster cookie that you will love.
Allow cookies to fully cool prior to storing them. Place them in an airtight container or resealable storage bag in your refrigerator or at room temperature for up to 3 days. Store in freezer in freezer safe storage bag or an airtight container for up to 6 months.
I make the base dough and set up a cookie bar. I use a variety of candies, crunched up chips and pretzels, along with different sauces and let the kids make their own decadent crazy creations.
Different air fryers will possibly have a couple of minutes extra or less cook time so keep an eye on them. When air frying you check the top of the cookie for doneness, and when it is evenly golden brown on all sides, they are finished cooking.
