Monster Cookies

These stay nice and chewy. I prefer the mini chips and mini candies for this one.
My husband made the cookies in the photos and they were delicious! thanks honey! 
Next time, when I make them, I'm going to add some chopped peanuts to part of the batter. 

Monster Cookies


1 stick (1/2 cup) unsalted butter, softened
3/4 cup sugar
1 cup brown sugar
3 eggs
1 teaspoon vanilla
1 teaspoon light Karo syrup
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
2 teaspoons baking soda
1 1/2 cups peanut butter
4 cups old fashioned oats
3/4 cup mini semi sweet chocolate chips
3/4 cup mini M n Ms (plus extra to sprinkle on top if desired)

Preheat oven to 350. 
In a large bowl or stand mixer, cream together the butter and sugars until light and fluffy. Add eggs one at a time and mix well.
Add vanilla, syrup, salt and baking soda and peanut butter and mix until combined.
Mix in the oats until combined.
Using a wooden spoon, fold in the mini chocolate chips and mini M n Ms so they don't get crushed. 
Using a large scoop, drop onto an ungreased cookie sheet (6 cookies on a 13x18 half sheet). Sprinkle a few M n Ms on top to make them more colorful.
Bake for 12 minutes. Leave on pan for a couple minutes then move to a rack to cool.
Makes about 27 big cookies.
