The Best Monster Cookies Recipes

These monster cookies are the most frequently made cookie at our house. They are seriously so thick, chewy, with slightly crunchy edges and a super soft baked center thanks to the secret ingredient; cornstarch.

If you’ve never added cornstarch to cookies then you have been missing out my friends. It’s only a small amount but it makes a HUGE difference in the texture of the cookie. Soft baked inside with a slightly chewy outside. Perfection ♥

It’s funny that it has taken me so long to post this recipe seeing that THE most POPULAR recipe on the blog are these no flour monster cookie bars. Which are equally delicious, make an entire cookie sheet (perfect for a crowd), and they freeze so well.

There is just something about the combination of chocolate, peanut butter, oats, and m&m’s that appeals to all ages! No matter how I try I can never say no to one of these monster cookies.
