Ingredients

  • 1 cup Butter room temperature
  • 1 cup Brown Sugar packed
  • 1 cup Sugar
  • 1 tsp Vanilla Extract
  • 2 large Eggs room temperature
  • 1 tsp Baking Soda
  • ½ tsp Baking Powder
  • 2 cups All-Purpose Flour
  • ½ teaspoon Salt
  • 2 cups Old-Fashioned Rolled Oats
  • 1 cup Chocolate Chips

For Decorating Monster Cookies

  • Halloween Sprinkles
  • 1 pkg Halloween M&M's (Ghoul's mix)
  • 1 pkg Wilton's Candy Eyeballs

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 325 degrees.
  • In the bowl of a stand mixer, add the room temperature butter and sugars. Using the paddle attachment, beat until fluffy - about 3 minutes.  Slowly add the eggs one at a time, scraping down the bowl as needed. Add the vanilla and mix well.
  • In a separate large bowl, combine the baking soda, baking powder, salt, and rolled oats, and mix until everything is combined. Add the dry ingredients to the butter mixture and mix until almost combined. Add the chocolate chips and mix again until all ingredients are combined.
  • Scoop and roll dough into 1 ¼" balls. Place Halloween sprinkles into a small bowl and roll each dough ball in them before placing on a greased baking sheet about 2" apart.
  • Bake in the preheated oven for 10-13 minutes, or until lightly golden brown and set. Remove from the oven and immediately add the candy eyeballs and M&Ms before letting the cookies cool on the pan for a few minutes.
  • Transfer to a wire cooling rack to cool completely. Serve immediately or store in an airtight container for up to 4 days. Enjoy!
