Monster Cookies

We have a tradition at our house: the Sunday Night Treat. This week's is Monster Cookies

I was given this cookie recipe when I found out that oats were no longer on the "banned" list. It is a great cookie recipe. Oats are used as the "flour" and not only is it a great mix of peanut butter and chocolate, it makes a monster batch! (The recipe yields about 9 dozen!)

Enjoy with an ice cold glass of milk for dunking!

Monster Cookies

1/2 cup butter

1 cup sugar

1 cup brown sugar

1 1/2 cups peanut butter

3 eggs

2 t. baking soda

1 t. vanilla

4 1/2 cups quick-cooking oats

1 cup chocolate chips

1 cup M&M's

Cream together butter and sugars. Add peanut butter and eggs and blend until creamy.

Mix in baking soda, vanilla, and oats.

Add chocolate chips and M&Ms.

Place on a greased cookie sheet and bake at 350 for 10 minutes. Let cool for 2 minutes before removing to wire rack.

Or if you are feeling lazy, you can make a MONSTER cookie and cut it into bars.

Spread dough onto cookie sheet and bake at 350 for 12 minutes.

Don't forget the milk!
