Get ready to bake a batch of classic, flourless Monster Cookies that have been a family favorite for over two decades! Preheat your oven and prepare for a treat that’s both easy to make and irresistibly delicious.
Imagine sinking your teeth into a cookie that’s chocolatey, chewy, and packed with peanut butter goodness. That’s exactly what you get with this tried-and-true family recipe for Monster Cookies. These aren’t just any cookies; they’re a delightful explosion of flavors and textures that will leave you craving more.
My mom received this recipe from a friend more than 25 years ago, and since then, countless batches of these incredible Monster Cookies have been baked and savored. From family gatherings to college dorm rooms, these cookies have always been a hit. It’s impossible to count how many dozens have disappeared from plates and cookie jars over the years.
During my college and graduate school days, these cookies became my signature bake. To this day, friends and family still remember me for their unbelievably chewy and soft texture, and, of course, their unparalleled taste. They’re the perfect treat to share or to enjoy all by yourself!
My husband often jokes that these Monster Cookies are practically a health food, thanks to the absence of flour and the generous addition of oats and peanut butter. While I wouldn’t go so far as to call them a “health food,” I can certainly vouch for their crowd-pleasing appeal. They’re a guaranteed hit at parties, potlucks, and bake sales.

The optional candy eyes add a touch of whimsy and fun, making them especially festive during the Halloween season. When October rolls around, and all things Halloween take over the food scene, these cookies are a delightful decorative treat. They are perfect for Halloween parties or just to add a bit of spooky fun to your day. They’re sure to be a hit with kids and adults alike.
Don’t worry if you don’t have a stand mixer! I made these cookies countless times throughout college without one. Just consider the stirring your workout for the day! Both smooth and chunky peanut butter will work perfectly in this recipe. However, I personally love the added crunch that chunky peanut butter provides. It gives the cookies an extra layer of texture that makes them even more satisfying.
