Mama Bear Monster Cookies

from Krista M.

Make them big! About double the size of a normal cookie.

1/2 cup butter
1 cup creamy peanut butter
1 cup sugar
1 cup brown sugar
3 eggs
4 cups quick oatmeal (not regular!!)
1 tsp. baking soda
1 tsp. baking powder
12 oz. chocolate chips
12 oz mini M&Ms (I found them at Wal-mart & I use a little less of each)

Cream butter and peanut butter together. Add both sugars and eggs, mix well. Add oats, powder and baking soda; mix thoroughly. Add chips and M&M’s by hand – scoop extra large onto baking sheet, press down slightly– bake 10-12 min. at 375 or until golden and set.

*use QUICK oats only – it will bake differently if you use the regular!
*if doubling recipe, use a whole 28oz jar of peanut butter and then you don’t have to measure it out. Doubling makes a HUGE batch!
