Monster Cookies

I'm not really sure why these cookies are called "monster cookies," but I think it probably has to do with the variety of ingredients they're filled with--peanut butter, oatmeal, chocolate chips, and m & m candies. That and the recipe makes an enormous batch. The unique thing about these cookies is that they don't use flour but use quick oats instead. They're still soft on the inside and very moist! You can make these into giant cookies and still serve a large group.

Monster Cookies

1 cup butter, softened (2 sticks)
2 cups white sugar
2 cups brown sugar
3 cups peanut butter
6 eggs
1 1/2 teaspoons corn syrup
1 1/2 teaspoons vanilla extract
4 teaspoons baking soda
9 cups quick oats
2 cups chocolate chips
2 cups m & m candies

Directions:
1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Place eggs in a bowl of warm water to bring them to room temperature.
2. Cream butter and sugars together. Beat in peanut butter.
3. Beat in eggs two at a time until incorporated. Stir in corn syrup and vanilla extract.
4. Mix in baking soda and quick oats until incorporated. Stir in chocolate chips and m & m candies with a wooden spoon.
5. Drop by tablespoons onto an ungreased cookie sheet and bake 12-14 minutes or until cookies begin to brown around the edges (the centers will still be soft). Cool on the cookie sheet for 2-3 minutes and then remove to wire racks to cool.
