So today I called my sister Renee and she brought up Monster cookies by saying, "remember how we always used to LOVE monster cookies?" Of course I do! I had forgotten about these yummy cookies though as it has been a few years since I have had one. As a youth we had girls camp every summer from ages 14-18 through church and at night, of course after I had already brushed my teeth they would bring us a giant cookie of our choice. They offered giant rice krispie treats, and monster cookies the size of your hand! I sometimes wondered if they brought them to us right before bed, and after we brushed our teeth as a "temptation challenge" of some sort, but I didn't care! If someone offers me (or any Jaten for that matter) a cookie we are going to gladly accept! Anyways I googled "monster cookie" recipe and was surprised that none of them included the use of flour. They turned out pretty good. I really LOVE slightly frozen cookies- so as soon as these were done, I bagged them up and put them in the freezer (where they will stay until I pull them out to enjoy one, or two, or three at a time!)
Monster Cookie Recipe
Ingredients:
1 1/2 cup peanut butter
1 stick butter-softened
1 cup sugar
1 cup brown sugar
--cream these ingredients together and add
3 eggs
---one at a time mix thoroughly after each, then add-
2 tsp baking soda
1 tsp corn syrup
2 tsp vanilla
--mix to combine and add
3/4 c chocolate chips
3/4 c m&m's
4 1/2 cup instant oatmeal (don't add too much or they will be dry)
Directions:
Scoop onto sheet pan and bake at 350 degrees for approximately 10-12 minutes. Can bake longer for a crisper cookie but they are better chewy in my opinion. Hope you enjoy them! Makes 6 dozen... so no need to double the recipe.... believe me!

Kenj, I tried this recipe last night and they were DELICIOUS! I must have made mine big because it only made 4 dozen which is plenty. Yep, I agree they are better slightly frozen and chewy. Thanks for the post! Renee
