Monster Cookies

Be warned, this makes a REALLY BIG batch of cookies, but they are SO good! Perfect for gifting to friends and family!

Ingredients:

1 lb. butter, softened

2 lbs. brown sugar

4 cups white sugar

12 eggs

1 Tbsp. vanilla

1 Tbsp. syrup

8 tsp. baking soda

3 lbs. peanut butter

18 cups oatmeal

1 lb. chocolate chips

1 lb. M&M's

Directions:

Cream together butter and sugars. Add eggs, vanilla, syrup, and baking soda and whisk until smooth. Cream in the peanut butter. Add the oatmeal and mix in well. Finally add the chocolate chips and M&M's, stirring just enough to mix them in but being careful not to crush them.

Form dough into 2-3 inch balls and space them at least 2 inches apart on greased cookie sheets. Bake about 12-15 minutes. Do not over bake. The best way to guarantee that your cookies end up chewy and not crispy is to remove them from the oven while they are still slightly under-baked and to keep them on the cookie hot cookie sheet for about 5-10 minutes, until fully cooled.
