Monster Cookies

The original recipe came from Gracious Goodness ...... Charleston! The slightly modified version appears below.

1/2 cup butter
1 cup sugar
1 cup brown sugar (packed)
3 eggs
2 cups crunchy peanut butter
1/4 tsp vanilla
4 1/2 cups oats
2 tsp baking soda
1/4 tsp salt
1 cup M & M's
6 oz chocolate chips
1 cup raisins (optional)

Cream butter with sugars and then add eggs one at a time. Mix well and then add the peanut butter, vanilla, oats, baking soda and salt. Mix well and then stir in M & M's, chocolate chips and raisins. Drop by rounded spoonfuls onto a cookie sheet. Bake at 350 degrees for about 12 - 15 minutes. Makes 5 - 6 dozen cookies.

I did all the mixing and stirring in my kitchen aid mixer.

A Place to Share Recipes!

I decided it would be easier for each of us to contribute recipes so I've set this up so each of us can contribute recipes we want to share. I'm hoping Ann will post the brownie recipe, Lisa will post the cookie recipes, and Melinda will post her Wegman's BBQ sauce recipe. We should be careful not to infringe copyright law, though!!
