TRIPLE PEANUT BUTTER MONSTER COOKIES

INGREDIENTS

1. 1/2 cup butter, softened 1 stick
2. 1 cup brown sugar
3. 1/2 cup creamy peanut butter
4. 1 large egg
5. 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
6. 3/4 cup flour
7. 1 teaspoon baking soda
8. 1 teaspoon cornstarch
9. 1/4 teaspoon baking powder
10. 1/8 teaspoon a pinch of salt
11. 1 1/2 cups old-fashioned oats quick or regular, I use some of each
12. 1 cup peanut butter chips
13. 1/2 cup reeses pieces

INSTRUCTIONS

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees and line baking sheets with parchment paper or a silpat.
• In a large bowl, cream together the butter, brown sugar, and peanut butter with a hand or stand mixer until light in color and fluffy, about 3-4 minutes. Mix in the egg and vanilla, scraping down the sides of the bowl as needed.
• Add the flour, baking soda, cornstarch, baking powder, salt, oats and stir by hand to combine all together.
• Stir in peanut butter chips and reeses pieces.
• Use a 1/4 cup measurer to measure out the cookies. Roll into a ball and place them on the baking sheet. Gently press down dough balls to form a very thick, cookie shape. They will not spread much while baking.
• Bake the cookies for 10-12 minutes until the edges are just starting to brown and the top still looks slightly undercooked.
• Remove from the oven and cool for 10 minutes on the baking sheet before moving them to a wire rack to cool completely.
• If wanted, press a few additional Reese's Pieces and/or peanut butter chips onto the tops of the cookies. This makes them look pretty!
