Notes

Peanut Butter - I prefer creamy peanut butter but you can use crunchy too.
Oatmeal - Using old fashioned oats will give you a chewier texture to the cookies.
Room Temperature - Having your ingredients at room temperature will help them to combine better.
Freeze Well - Monster cookies are freeze really well and are a perfect make ahead cookie. You can find all my tips for freezing cookies here.
