What is a Bosch Universal Mixer?
This is a great question as I have been asked it many times. Bosch is a brand name that makes a stand mixer to make and mix all kinds of things. I've been using a Bosch since I was very little, which means I've been using one for decades. Take a look at this post and tells you why I love my Bosch Mixer!
How to Make Monster Cookies
- Preheat your oven to 350 degrees F and line a cookie sheet with parchment paper.
- In a bowl mix together the Butter, Peanut Butter, and Sugars until light and fluffy.
- Add in the egg and the vanilla. Whip the mix together.
- In a bowl combine your dry ingredients. (The Salt, Baking Soda, Flour, and Oats).
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, scraping the side of the bowl as needed.
- Stir in the chocolate chips and the M&M candies.
- Using the medium cookie scoop place your cookies on the cookie sheet and bake for 9-11 minutes.
- Remove the pan from the oven and allow the cookies to cool on the baking rack.
- Keep stored in a sealed container.
Can I use quick oats?
Yes you can use quick oats. That said, I really like the larger old fashioned oats because they give a better texture in this recipe.
You can use whichever oat you have on hand or what you think you’ll like best.
Can I freeze Monster Cookies?
Yes, you can freeze monster cookies! It’s a great way to get them to last much longer too.
Simply keep your monster cookies inside of an airtight container in the freezer for up to 3 months and they should be just fine.
Why are Monster Cookies called Monster Cookies?
It’s hard to determine where monster cookies get their name because they certainly don’t look like monsters.
They do however hold the title of “monster of all cookies” based on the ingredients they’re stuffed with. This is the best guess as to where the name comes from.
Quick Tip:
Why are my Monster Cookies Falling Apart?
There are a couple of different reasons why your cookie might possibly fall apart. 1 is that you added too much of the chocolates and the ratio of chocolate to dough is off.
Another reason is that you tried to move the baked cookies too soon. Letting them rest on the pan for about 5 minutes allows them to finish cooking and solidify enough to transport.
