This is Arianne Berndt's recipe. She gets all the credit. Occasionally I've heard her mention that she was craving "Monster cookies"....hum, finally I asked for the recipe and I'm so glad I did. Don't be fooled by the ingredients - they don't taste like PB cookies or oatmeal cookies...it's just the right amount of each ingredient and the flavor is spectacular. These cookies are unbelievably good. Arianne said she's stored them in the freezer and they thaw to same-day baked perfection.
I made a 1/2 batch to take to a picnic yesterday and folks raved about them & admitted that they ate 2, 3, 4 cookies. Thank you, Arianne!!
Arianne's Monster Cookies
12 eggs
2 lb. brown sugar
4 cups white sugar
1 T. vanilla
1 T. Karo light corn syrup
8 tsp. baking soda
1 lb. butter or margarine (I used margarine)
3 lb. peanut butter (I used creamy)
18 cups oatmeal (Arianne recommends combination of quick cooking & old fashioned)
1 lb. semi-sweet chocolate chips
1 lb. M&Ms
Mix ingredients in order listed above in very large bowl (by hand). Drop onto greased cookie sheet with ice cream scoop and flatten with fork. Make 6 cookies per sheet - they spread out. (I re-sprayed cookie sheet each time.) Bake 12 minutes at 350 degrees. Cool slightly on cookie sheet before transferring to cooling rack. Makes 20 dozen.
