These Monster Cooke Bars are my new favorite cookie (for now)! They are soft and practically melt in your mouth. I like the texture and softness of these vs regular monster cookies. Plus they are healthy since they have oats and peanut butter ;) Super easy to make too.
My husband asked if he could have these instead of a birthday cake this year, we will see :) I’m a baker and he never let’s me make cakes, he likes cookie bars better!
If you don’t have peanut butter chips you could always just double the chocolate chips. If you want them to look pretty save a few chips and M&M’s to sprinkle on top before you bake.

I love Monster cookies, but never make them. I’m sure they’re even better as bars :) & maybe somehow you could combine the Monster flavors into a cake?!? I rarely get to make cake too and I’d be disappointed if the recipient didn’t want cake ;)
I just found your site-adorable and feels like I’m in your kitchen eating the great things you’ve enjoyed all your lives. I tried the Monster Cookie Bars today-okay I didn’t have the peanut butter morsels (who keeps those around?! ;0) so I added a handful of chopped peanuts. These were such fun. Felt a little healthy. Would be great for a party-I think would hold up well in the heat. Melts in your mouth…
Will be back to try other recipes. You should buy the domain for semisweetsisters.com Just like JT in The Social Network. “It’s cleaner!”
Hi Annie. Thanks, I’m glad you liked the cookies! We tried to get the domain like you said, but someone else owns it and it’s not for sale, even though they are not using it :(
