Monster Cookies


This is my Aunt Audrey's recipe and it is so so  yummy.  She would make these when we all came to visit in the summer.  I am sure all of my cousins remember them.  

Monster Cookies
1 cup butter flavored Crisco
1 cup granulated sugar
1 cup + 2 Tbsp brown sugar
3 eggs
1 1/2 cups creamy peanut butter
1 tsp vanilla
1 tsp Karo syrup
4 1/2 cups quick oats
2 tsp baking soda
1/4 tsp salt
1 cup mini M&M's (I use regular because I usually have them on hand.  And I like to use dark chocolate M&M's rather than milk chocolate)
1/2 cup chocolate chips (bittersweet)
1/2 cup butterscotch chips

Cream together Crisco, sugars, and peanut butter.  Add in eggs, vanilla, karo syrup.  Mix well.  Mix in oats, salt and baking soda.  Stir in candies.  Press into 1/4 measuring cup and place on greased cookie sheet.  flatten lightly.  Bake at 350 degrees for 12-15 minutes.
