Monster Cookies

The first time I had these cookies was at the PICU Cookbook Reveal Party. Meagan made them. And I was in love. They were originally from Paula Deen. And Pioneer Woman makes her own version. All my favorites make these cookies!
 
And, fun fact, they are gluten-free!
 
Monster Cookies
 
- 3 eggs
- 1 1/4 C packed light brown sugar
- 1 C white sugar
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 (12 oz) jar creamy peanut butter
- 1 stick butter, softened
- 1/2 C M&Ms
- 1/2 C chocolate chips
- 1/4 C raisins, optional (I've never had them with raisins....don't mess with perfection!)
- 2 tsp baking soda
- 4 1/2 C quick cooking oats, not instant
 
1. Preheat oven to 350*. Line cookie sheets with parchment paper.
 
2. In a very large mixing bowl, combine the eggs and sugars. Mix well.
 

 
3. Add the salt, vanilla, peanut butter, and butter. Mix well. 

 
4. Stir in the M&Ms, chocolate chips, baking soda, and oatmeal.


It was cheaper this way...




 
5. Drop by tablespoons 2 inches apart onto cookies sheets. Bake for 8-10 minutes. Do not over bake!

 
6. Let stand for about 3 minutes before transferring to wire racks to cool.
