'Tis the season for sweets! This is a great monster cookie recipe. I've typed it below which is HALF of the original recipe. You can make the cookies gigantic (golf ball-size on the baking sheet) or "normal" size but either way be sure to flatten them to prior to baking! I use the Pampered Chef cookie scoop (medium size) and get approx 8 dozen from this recipe below. The cookies do freeze well, once they're baked and cooled! Enjoy!
Monster Cookies
2 sticks margarine
1 lb. brown sugar
1 1/2 lbs. of creamy peanut butter (usually 1 18 oz jar plus just under half a second jar)
2 c. white sugar
1/2 T Karo syrup
6 eggs
1/2 T vanilla
9 c. rolled oats
4 tsp. baking soda
1 12 oz. package of chocolate chips
1 lb of M&Ms
Cream margarine; then add sugars, peanut butter, Karo syrup, eggs and vanilla and mix until well combined. Place oats and baking soda in the biggest bowl you have in your kitchen then add the cookie mixture and mix by hand with a large wooden spoon. Add chocolate chips & M&Ms, stir to combine throughout dough.
Roll in large balls by hand or use a cookie scoop to place on baking sheet and flatten. Bake 12-15 minutes at 350F. Cool on wire racks.
To Freeze: package in airtight containers or freezer bags
To Serve: Thaw just a few mintues then enjoy! Or eat them right from the bag a little cold & hard, though! ;o)
