Cookie Monster Cookie. Peanut Butter, Oatmeal & Chocolate

Warning: These cookies are meant for large Cookie Monster-Like hands. They are large, perfectly round, and gobble-up delicious. Just ask my very close friend. C.M., he’ll tell ya.

Preheat oven to 350F.

In a large bowl, cream butter. Gradually add sugars, beating until fluffy. Add eggs and peanut butter.

Cookie Monster has such big hands, he can’t help me with the peanut butter portion, because this is where I use my infamous mini-spoonula to scoop out the peanut butter.

Then add vanilla and corn syrup. Mix well with mixer.

Stir in oats, baking soda, salt and chips. This is where you might need Cookie Monster’s big hands (or the like) to help you stir as the batter will be stiff, so I use my wooden spoon…I mean Cookie Monster uses his wooden spoon, to be sure and get everything all combined.

Be sure to get all the oats and mini chocolate chips combined with the peanut butter mixture.

Now comes the fun part.

Spray your cookie sheet with Pam. (That’s not the fun part, what’s coming up is the fun part).

Take your 1/4 cup measuring cup and fill it with dough (this is where I like to spray just a wee bit of Pam inside the measuring cup, so the cookie dough flops out perfectly onto the cookie sheet).

Since my measuring cup is a little on the “square side” you will need to gently pat down the dough once on the pan so it becomes a 3 inch round circle.

Cookie Monster will only eat perfectly round cookies, so remember that. Very important

Space cookie dough 4 inches apart. These suckers grow in the oven to become the ultimate Cookie Monster cookie.

Bake for 12 minutes. Be sure they do not get brown around the edges.

Wow look how they grew in the oven. Now they are perfectly round, 4 inch cookies!

Perfect Cookie Monster cookies!

Everyone has a cookie monster in their house.

Could that cookie monster be you?
