Monster Cookies

Ingredients:

1 cup creamy or chunky peanut butter

1 1/4 cups packed brown sugar

1 cup white sugar

1/2 cup soft butter

3 large eggs

2 teaspoons baking soda

2 teaspoons vanilla extract

4 cups quick oats

3/4 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips

1 cup candy-coated chocolates (like M&M’s)

1 1/2 cups flour

sea salt

Instructions:

Cream peanut butter, butter and sugars until well combined.
Add eggs, one at a time, mixing well with each addition.
Add baking soda and vanilla.
Add oats, M&M's and chocolate chips. (reserve a quarter cup or so of M&M's)
Let stand for 5 to 10 minutes, then add flour. You will need a sturdy wooden spoon at this point.
Shape into balls and place on a parchment lined baking sheet. Use the reserved M&M's to top some of the cookies so that they are colorful. Lightly press down on each ball to flatten it slightly.
Bake at 325 for 15 to 18 minutes.
