Graham Cracker Cookies...loved these!

this recipe makes 2-1/2 dozen But I cut it in half twice since it was just gary and I eating them. We both really enjoyed this which is saying a lot since Gary doesn't normally eat sweets. But you can only eat about two or you will start to feel sick.

1-1/2 cups sugar
6 tablespoons butter, cubed
1/3 cup evaporated milk
1 cup marshmallow creme
3/4 cup peanut butter
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 package graham crackers

In large sauce pan, combine sugar, butter, and milk. Cook and stir constantly over medium heat until mixture comes to a boil. Cook 4-5 min longer until thickened and bubbly. Remove from heat; stir in marshmallow creme, peanut butter, and vanilla.

Break graham crackers in half. spread about 2 tablespoons filling on the bottoms of half of the crackers. ( I also melted choc chips in microwave and put on top of the filling, but that wasn't apart of the original recipe. I thought it tasted great both with and without the choc chips) Top with remaining crackers.

Monster Cookies

1 cup peanut butter
1/2 cup butter, softened
1-1/4 packed brown sugar
1 cup sugar
3 eggs
2 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
4 cups quick-cooking oats
1 cup M&Ms
1 cup or less butterscotch chips
1 cup peanuts (optional)
Marshmellows (optional)
choc. chips (optional)
2 cups all-purpose flour

In large bowl, cream peanut butter, butter, and sugars. Add eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition. Add baking soda and vanilla. Add oats, M&Ms, butterscotch chips, peanuts. Let stand for 10 min. Stir in Flour. Add choc chips and marshmellows if desired (I did :) )

Shape 1/4 cupfuls into balls. Place on greased baking sheets. Gently flatten cookies. Bake at 325 degrees for 15-18 min or until edges are lightly browned. Remove from pan to cool.

I didn't use peanuts because I don't like them. I tried half the batter with just M&Ms and butterscotch chips, it was pretty good but the last half of the batter I added choc chips to add more chocolate and the marshmellows for fun. I really liked it with those additions and highly recommend it! Tomorrow Gary will be taking them to school so we will see how everyone likes it there. :)

Thanks to my sister-in-law for mentioning these cookies to me :)
