Monster Cookies

[Daycare Mom]

Ok, this is a favorite at our house. These are hug and delish cookies. They have a lot of oats in them, so I consider them healthy!

Monster Cookies

1 cup peanut butter
½ cup butter or margarine, softened
1 1/4 cups packed brown sugar
1 cup sugar
3 eggs
2 teaspoons baking soda
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
4 cups quick-cooking oats
1 cup M&M’s
1 cup butterscotch chips
1 cup salted peanuts
2 cups all-purpose flour

In a large mixing 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&M’s, butterscotch chips and peanuts; let stand for 10 minutes. Stif in flour (the dough will be crumbly). Shape 1/4 cupfuls into balls. Place on greased baking sheets, about nine cookies per sheet. Gently flatten cookies. Bake @ 325 for 15-18 minutes or until edges are lightly browned. Remove to wire racks. Yield: about 2 ½ dozen.

Yummy!

I make those exact cookies without the butterscotch. They are a hit!! I'm going to try the butterscotch.

We have also used white chips instead of butterscotch.
My favorite is to use peanut M&M's and skip the peanuts. It takes the whole medium size bag, minus the handful you know you are going to eat when you open the bag!
