Step-by-Step Instructions for Easter Monster Cookies
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line your baking sheets with parchment paper.

  3. In a large mixing bowl, cream together the room-temperature salted butter, white sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy.
  4. Mix in the smooth peanut butter until fully combined.
  5. Add the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition, then add the vanilla extract.
  6. In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt. Gradually mix into the wet ingredients.
  7. Fold in the rolled oats, crushed chocolate mini eggs, and mini semi-sweet chocolate chips.
  8. Using a cookie scoop, shape the dough and place on prepared baking sheets about 2 inches apart.
  9. Bake for about 10 minutes until the edges are golden brown and the tops are slightly undercooked.
  10. Let the cookies cool on the baking sheets for about 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack.
