Monster Cookies

 



I know, they don't look like much.   But a couple years ago, I won a gift basket in a raffle and it included something called "Monster Cookies" and they were so delicious, I had to figure out how to make them. At the time, I was regularly baking for an assortment of carpenters, plumbers and electricians that were working on my house, so I was always looking for something new to try.   I made a batch of these and presented them to the 2 young electricians that were installing the ceiling fan in my craft room.   One of them said "I can't have them, I'm gluten free!" and I was thrilled to tell him that these cookies are, indeed, gluten free.   Not that they are healthy, or anything.   


Monster Cookies 

1/2 c butter, softened to room temperature
1 1/2 c creamy peanut butter
1 c brown sugar
3/4 c granulated sugar
1 t honey
1 t vanilla
2 t baking soda
1 t salt
3 eggs
1 c mini M&M's
1 c semi sweet chocolate chips
4 1/2 c old fashioned oats

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Cream butter, peanut butter, sugars, corn syrup, vanilla, soda, and salt in a large mixing bowl till very creamy, 2-3 minutes. Add the eggs and mix well.

Stir in M&M's, chocolate chips, and oats till well combined. (Dough will be fairly sticky.) Form tablespoons of dough into balls and place them onto silicone lined or greased cookie sheets. Flatten cookie dough balls with the palm of your hand.

Bake at 350° for 9-10 minutes.
