I make my plain small-batch <span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.dessertfortwo.com\/1-dozen-monster-cookies-giveaway\/\">Monster Cookies<\/a><\/span> with seasonal colored candies and sprinkles anytime of the year. During Halloween, you have to pop on a few candy eye balls to give true monster vibes!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For these Christmas monster cookies, however, we&rsquo;re using red and green chocolate candies and adorable holiday tree sprinkles.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This recipe makes 1 dozen large cookies, so everyone can have one before bed with a few leftover for Santa, too!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-ingredients\">Ingredients<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1800\" height=\"1200\" src=\"https:\/\/www.dessertfortwo.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/Christmas-Monster-Cookies.jpg\" alt=\"Small bowls of brown sugar, M&amp;Ms, oats, and peanut butter.\" class=\"wp-image-80620\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.dessertfortwo.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/Christmas-Monster-Cookies.jpg 1800w, https:\/\/www.dessertfortwo.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/Christmas-Monster-Cookies-400x267.jpg 400w, https:\/\/www.dessertfortwo.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/Christmas-Monster-Cookies-550x367.jpg 550w, https:\/\/www.dessertfortwo.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/Christmas-Monster-Cookies-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.dessertfortwo.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/Christmas-Monster-Cookies-150x100.jpg 150w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1800px) 100vw, 1800px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Butter<\/strong>. Just a half stick of butter (4 tablespoons\/ 57 grams), because we&rsquo;re using peanut butter as a butter substitute here.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Peanut Butter<\/strong>. One-quarter cup of your favorite peanut butter. I recommend a no-stir peanut butter, because it blends better into the Christmas monster cookies batter.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Brown Sugar<\/strong>. One-half cup of brown sugar&ndash;it can be light or dark, whatever you have in your pantry. You might have some leftover from making my <span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.dessertfortwo.com\/gingerbread-crinkle-cookies\/\">gingerbread crinkle cookies<\/a><\/span>!<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Egg<\/strong>. Yes, one whole egg, egg white and egg yolk. I know we normally split an egg for my small-batch cookie recipes, but this recipe is chunky and needs the whole egg.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Vanilla<\/strong>. Three-quarters of a teaspoon of vanilla extract for flavor.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Flour<\/strong>. One-half cup of flour doesn&rsquo;t seem like enough for one dozen cookies, but the oats hold the dough together, too!<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Rolled Oats<\/strong>. Make sure the package says &lsquo;old fashioned rolled oats&rsquo; before measuring out 1\/4 cup. Speaking of, you can definitely double this recipe if you want 2 dozen large cookies.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Baking Soda<\/strong>. One-half teaspoon of baking soda to help the cookies spread.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Salt<\/strong>. Never omit the salt in a baking recipe&ndash;it balances the sweetness. You need 1\/4 teaspoon of fine sea salt for this recipe. You can also sprinkle large flakes of salt on top before serving.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Chocolate Chips<\/strong>. One-quarter cup of chocolate chips, any type you like: semisweet, dark, milk, or white chocolate are all amazing here.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>M&amp;Ms Candies<\/strong>. If you cannot find a bag of Christmas M&amp;Ms, I can assure you that the 10-ounce bag of regular M&amp;Ms contains exactly 1\/4 cup of red and green candies. (I tested this recipe before the holiday candy was out, and I have separated the colors many times lol!)<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Christmas Sprinkles<\/strong>. It&rsquo;s optional, but 3 tablespoons of pretty Christmas sprinkles look really festive when serving!<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"
