monster cookies

My friend asked for this recipe, and I cannot believe that I have not posted this yet. This is my mom's signature cookie - there is a 95% chance she has a dozen of these in the freezer at any given time. This makes a lot of cookies, so make half or plan to freeze some (or give some away - everyone loves cookies).

When I make them, I use extra m&m's to decorate the top. They look pretty that way, and you can do different colors for the holidays too.

Monster Cookies

Recipe by Sheila at musings of a mommy.blogspot.com

2 sticks of butter

1 lb. brown sugar

2 cups white sugar

6 eggs

2 Tbsp. vanilla

3 cups peanut butter

4 tsp. soda

9 cups quick cooking rolled oats

½ lb. M&M’s

½ lb. chocolate chips

Mix all ingredients. I use a cookie scoop to measure them out on the cookie sheet.  Bake at 350 on greased cookie sheets for 10-15 minutes, or until the edge of one cookie starts to brown just a teeny bit.  These taste better on the under-done side, as they set up as they cool. Makes 6 dozen.
