Happy National Cookie Day! I've decided to celebrate it with the Monster of all Cookies.
There are many versions of the Monster Cookie. These are the ones from my childhood - loaded with chocolate chips, butterscotch chips and peanut M&Ms. The original recipe calls for 1/2 cup of peanut M&Ms which I find is not enough when making the smaller cookies as each cookie should contain some, right?
MONSTER COOKIES
4 eggs
11 T butter or margarine
2 cup peanut butter
1 2/3 cup brown sugar
1 1/3 cup granulated sugar
1 1/2 tsp vanilla
2 1/2 tsp baking powder
6 cups oatmeal
6 oz. chocolate chips
6 oz. butterscotch chips
1/2 cup peanut M&Ms (or more!)
Cream eggs, margarine, sugars, vanilla and peanut butter. Add baking powder and oatmeal, mix well. Mix in chocolate chips, butterscotch chips and M&Ms. Dough can either be shaped into fairly large balls or scooped with cookie scoop.
Bake at 350 on parchment lined or greased cookie sheets for ~12 minutes.
