The Mother of all Monster Cookies

Ingredients

• 16oz jar peanut butter
• 1 stick of butter (room temp)
• 1 3/4 cups light brown sugar
• 1/2 cup granulated sugar
• 3 eggs
• 2 teaspoons vanilla
• 5 cups old fashioned oats
• 2 tsp baking soda
• 1 cup milk chocolate chips
• 1 cup M&M’s

Directions

1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Line cookie sheet with parchment paper. I recommend having 2 cookies sheets with parchment paper for these cookies, and bonus- you can reuse the same pieces of parchment for the entire batch.
2. In a large mixing bowl combine peanut butter, butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until fluffy.
3. Add eggs and vanilla and stir until combined.
4. Add the oats and baking soda. Stir well.
5. Mix in chocolate chips and M&M’s
6. Use 1/2 cup measuring cup to portion out dough, then roll all 1/2 cup of dough into a ball.
7. Place 3 dough balls on a cookie sheet at once so they have room to spread.
8. Bake for 12 minutes then press down dough ball with a fork, and back for another 7 minutes.
9. Let cool on the sheet pan until you need to use the pan again in the next rotation. Place on cooling rack, then place in container or bag to maintain freshness.
