Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). This steady temperature ensures soft centers and perfectly golden edges. Line two large baking sheets with parchment paper for even baking and easy cleanup.

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, combine ½ cup (113g) softened unsalted butter, 1 cup (250g) creamy peanut butter, 1 cup (200g) packed brown sugar, and ½ cup (100g) granulated sugar. Beat on medium speed for 2–3 minutes until the mixture looks light, fluffy, and creamy.

Step 3

Crack in 2 large room-temperature eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition. This ensures the dough stays smooth, thick, and properly emulsified. Cold eggs can cause the mixture to separate, so let them sit out for 20–30 minutes before mixing.

Step 4

Sprinkle in 1 teaspoonof baking soda and ½ teaspoon of fine salt directly into the wet mixture. Mix briefly to distribute evenly. Proper leavening ensures thick, chewy monster cookies with balanced rise and golden edges.

Step 5

Gently fold in 1 cup (170g) semi-sweet chocolate chips and 1 cup (180g) M&M candies using a spatula. Stir slowly and evenly to distribute the mix-ins without overworking the dough.

Step 6

Use a 2-tablespoon cookie scoop (about 40g per portion) to divide the dough evenly. Uniform sizing ensures thick, chewy monster cookies that bake consistently with soft centers and golden edges.
