Enlarged to show texture. Just kidding! This one really is monster size.
MATERIALS
Makes ~55 cookies or a 9x13 pan of bars
- 8 tbsp non-dairy butter
- 1 cup white sugar
- 1 cup brown sugar, lightly packed
- 1 1/2 cups creamy peanut butter
- 3 flax eggs (3 tbsp ground flax plus 8 tbsp water)
- 1 tsp vanilla
- 1 tsp dark corn syrup, optional
- 2 tsp baking soda
- 4 1/2 cups old fashioned oats
- 1 cup chocolate chips
- 1 cup M&Ms
PROCEDURE
Prep: Make flax eggs in a small bowl by mixing the ground flax and water and letting sit for ~5 minutes.
1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
2. In a stand mixer, cream butter and sugar. This is a fancy way of saying mix together until well blended. Continue to add ingredients in the order listed and mix.
3. Decide whether you want to do cookies or bars. Hint: Bars are quicker and just as tasty.
3a. Cookies: Scoop ~1.5 tbsp of dough onto cookie sheet and flatten (~12 cookies per batch). Bake for ~10 minutes or until just slightly starting to brown on edges.
3b. Bars: Spread into 9 x 13 pan and bake for ~22 minutes or until top is just starting to brown.
THE RUNDOWN
Peanut butter, oatmeal, chocolate chips, and M&Ms - what more could you want in a cookie? This is definitely not a healthy recipe and should be used sparingly. Pro tip - Use a stand mixer if you have it. The dough is pretty darn thick.
