We like our cookies to be thick and chewy and these do not disappoint! Loads of peanut butter, oats, and candy make these the best monster cookies out there.

Notes

Use a creamy, no-stir peanut butter such as Jif or Skippy for best results.
Do not overbake these cookies. They should come out of the oven still soft and will finish setting up as they cool.
