monster cookies

i have a great recipe for monster cookies. i got it at this year's lady's retreat at camp chetek in chetek, wi. it is a doozy. bust out the big bowl.

i have substituted some of the oatmeal with baby oatmeal! what a great way to use up the extra! i even made a meatloaf with baby oatmeal and it was great. the texture was fluffy.

monster cookies: 6 eggs, 2 c. sugar, 2 1/4 c. brown sugar, 1 1/2 t. vanilla, 1 1/2 t. maple syrup, 4 t. baking soda, 1 c. oleo (i use butter), 3 c. peanut butter. mix. add-- 9 c. oatmeal (i use 3 c. oatmeal, 6 c. baby oatmeal cereal!), chocolate chips, m&m's, etc. bake for 12 min. @ 350 degrees.

these cookies are so awesome chewy. i adore a chewy cookie.

this makes about an ice cream bucket and a large tupperware marinater container.:) that's what i use. this makes plenty for sharing with deserving loved ones.
