Mimi's Monster Cookies image

These are huge cookies that the kids will love to get their little hands on. They are great to take to picnics or gatherings. I used to take them to Sunday School picnics when my grandkids were little. I even did a double batch for a treat at AWANA. Adults like them, too. They have delicious flavor. You may notice that there is no flour in the recipe--that is correct--there is no flour. The oats bind it together.

Yield 22 cookies

Number Of Ingredients 11

1 1/2 cups peanut butter
1/2 cup butter
1 cup packed brown sugar
1 cup granulated sugar
3 eggs
2 teaspoons vanilla
3 teaspoons baking soda
4 1/2 cups quick-cooking oatmeal
3/4 cup semi-sweet chocolate bit
3/4 cup candy-coated chocolates (I use M&M's)
3/4 cup chopped walnuts (could use peanuts)

Steps:

  • In a large bowl with mixer at medium speed, beat together the first 4 ingredients till light and fluffy.
  • Add eggs and vanilla; beat 2 minutes.
  • Blend in baking soda.
  • Stir in oats and remaining ingredients.
  • Dough will be very stiff and crumbly.
  • Drop dough by 1/3 cup measures, 4" apart on a ungreased baking sheet.
  • Flatten with a spatula to 3 1/2" cookies.
  • Bake in 350 oven for 12-14 minutes or till golden.

  • If you need more than 22 cookies, you may use a 1/4 cup measure, but they will not be quite as huge as the other measure.
