Monster Cookies

Ingredients

• 3/4 cup margarine (or butter)

• 1 cup white sugar

• 1 cup brown sugar, lightly packed

• 4 eggs

• 1 lb. creamy peanut butter

• 2-1/2 teaspoons baking soda

• 4-1/2 cups oats (I use 2-1/2 cups quick oats & 2 cups rolled oats)

• 1/2 lb. mini M&Ms

• 12 oz. mini semi-sweet chocolate chips

Directions

• Cream margarine and sugars well

• Add eggs, then the rest of the ingredients

• Dough will look & feel wet- don’t worry!

• Form dough into 1-1/2 to 2 inch balls and roll in powdered sugar

• After cookies are on the sheet pat down slightly (not flatten, just gently pat down two or three times)

• Bake at 350° for 8 to 9 minutes

• Cookies should be only lightly golden on the edges, be careful not to over bake

• Have plenty of cold milk on hand!

My husband Daryl has a few favorite cookie recipes. The Monster Cookie is one of his top picks and it may be because of all the peanut butter. This recipe mixes together quickly and I make them pretty big and it still yields about 3-dozen cookies.

Guaranteed to bring all the cool Monsters outta the woodwork!
