Monster Cookies
These monster cookies are unique, because they're made without flour - only oats, so they're ultra chewy and hearty! They're also loaded with creamy peanut butter, M&Ms, and chocolate chips.

Optional: chill the dough for at least 30 minutes. I never do this, but if you're worried about spreading, I'd recommend chilling the dough.
