MONSTER Cookies!!

These are some of my family's favorite cookies. My grandmother (my Nana) makes these and they do not last long around her 5 boys and 10 grandchildren. They are fabulous! You can, of course, mold these to your liking by changing up the flavors of the chips or adding nuts. This is how my grandmother makes them though and I love them just as is.

When I emailed my grandmother for the recipe she sent me the version that makes like a quadruple batch of cookies. I halved it for the purposes of this recipe (as stated below it will make about 100 cookies using a medium cookie scoop). When I made the cookies I halved it again and I came out with 50 cookies. I went ahead and worked out the calories in each cookie (since I'm trying to keep track) and it comes to about 130 calories per cookie when using a medium cookie scoop.

Enjoy!


MONSTER Cookies
Source: My Nana
Yields: About 100 cookies
Ingredients:
6 eggs
2 1/3 c brown sugar, packed
2 c sugar
1 c butter (2 sticks), softened
1/2 tbs vanilla
4 tsp baking soda
2 2/3 c peanut butter
8 c oatmeal
1/2 c chocolate chips
1/2 c butterscotch chips
1 c M&Ms (I used Easter ones since they were cheapest!)

Directions:
Preheat oven to 350. Line baking sheet with parchment paper or grease baking sheets.

Combine ingredients in order given, mixing after each addition.

*I chilled the dough for about 30 minutes to fit my preference. I also chilled the dough in between batches to keep it formed nicely.

Drop dough by heaping tablespoonfuls (I used my medium cookie scoop which is one of the best inventions ever!) on cookie sheet, about 2 inches apart.

Bake about 10-12 minutes (keep an eye on them) until almost set in the middle. Remove from oven and let cool on sheet for a couple minutes before removing to wire racks to cool completely.
