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 :)

  1. These sound awesome, but I'm puzzled how chocolate chips can ever be optional! LOL!
