Chewy Monster Cookies – soft and chewy peanut butter cookies filled with oats, chocolate chips, peanuts, raisins, and M&Ms!

Hi guys! I feel like October is the start of cookie season. Right?

We’re all thinking about the cookies we plan on making in the next few months. Scouring Pinterest at all hours of the night for the perfect recipes to include in our cookie tins. I hear some people are also organized enough to start freezing dough this time of year, but that is not me. I will be making all my holiday cookies days before the holiday.

Anyway. I’m sharing my favorite Chewy Monster Chocolate Chip Cookies recipe today. They are extra chewy and filled with all sorts of delicious things. You’re going to love them!

How To Make Chewy Chocolate Chip Cookies

My favorite (and also the easiest!) way to get chewy chocolate chip cookies is to add Karo® Corn Syrup to the dough.

Yeah, the same Karo® Corn Syrup that makes your Thanksgiving pecan pie so gooey and delicious! Adding it to cookies creates the best, chewiest cookies. The cookies turn out extra chewy on the outside and still soft on the inside. Which is my faaaaaaavorite kind of cookie.

Karo® Corn Syrup is the leading corn syrup brand and has been around for over 100 years. Its quality has been trusted over multiple generations and it’s a staple in Southern cuisine, where it’s used in all sorts of baked goods and even drizzled over pancakes! There really are so many different ways you can use Karo® Corn Syrup.

If you want to try it out on your favorite chocolate chip cookie recipe, substitute ¾ cup Karo® Corn Syrup for every 1 cup of granulated sugar. So if the recipe calls for 1 cup of granulated sugar, use ¾ cup Karo® Corn Syrup. If it calls for 2 cups granulated sugar, use 1 ½ cups Karo® Corn Syrup. And so on and so on.

Don’t substitute for brown sugar. Keep the brown sugar in the recipe! The brown sugar will make sure the cookie stays soft as well as chewy. It’s going to be your new favorite way to make chocolate chip cookies!

How To Make Chewy Monster Cookies

Okay, so we talked about how to make chewy chocolate chip cookies, so to make these Chewy Monster Cookies, I took my usual Monster Chocolate Chip Cookies recipe that I make all the time and substituted Karo® Corn Syrup for the granulated sugar.

That’s it! That little change – just substituting Karo® Corn Syrup for granulated sugar – took my Monster Cookies from crispy to chewy inside and out!

Besides that, the idea behind Chewy Monster Cookies is just to fill cookies with all your favorite things.

So for this recipe, it calls for oats, peanut butter, chocolate chips, peanuts, raisins, and candy coated chocolate pieces. If you aren’t into raisins, leave them out. Add more chocolate chips instead of the raisins if you want! Or if you prefer pecans to peanuts, add those. It’s kind of whatever add ins you want.

Everything gets mixed together and the dough does need to chill for awhile, so be prepared to let it sit for about an hour in the fridge. Then you just roll the dough into balls and bake for 10 – 12 minutes, until the cookies are just starting to turn golden brown.

The holidays are fast approaching, and whether you’re thinking about your famous pecan pie on the Thanksgiving table or chewy chocolate chip cookies to put in your cookie tins, make sure you pick up Karo® Corn Syrup for all your holiday baking needs!
