Full Size Batch 1/4 Batch (Modified - less sugar)
1 lb butter, softened (1/2 C)
4 C white sugar (3/4 C)
5 C brown sugar (2 lb) (3/4 C)
1 Tb vanilla (1 tsp)
1 dozen eggs (3 eggs)
8 tsp bk soda (2 tsp)
6 C (3lb)natural peanut butter (1 1/2 C) Smooth PB is our pick
~20 C quick oats (5 C)
M&Ms, raisins, and Mini Semi-Sweet Chocolate chips:
1 lb each (1 C or handful each) This is our favorite combo. If it looks skimpy, add a handful more of your favorite. The mini-chips stretch much further than big chips. Nestle makes good ones.
-Cream butter and sugars and vanilla in very large bowl (standard sized bowls will not work - split recipe in half if you don't have a massive bowl).
-Mix in eggs one at a time.
-Sprinkle in bk soda.
-Mix in peanut butter, then slowly add oats.
-Stir in the "bits," as they say in New Zealand.
-Add more oatmeal if recipe seems too gooey ( I think we added 1-2 more cups last time).
-Drop by tablespoons on cookie sheets and bake at 375 or 170C until golden brown for approx 7-9 min.
Yield: Approx 18-20 dozen / 4-5 dozen
These freeze super well and hardly need any thawing to enjoy out of the freezer.

Hey Angela, I'm enjoying your blog, maybe someday you could help me do one of my own...
Something I like to do with monster cookies is to put them unbaked on a cookie sheet and freeze them overnight; put then in a ziplock bag. When you want a warm batch of cookies put them on a pan and bake them. Normal time if you thaw them and a little longer if they are still frozen. Another benefit is that you don't have to bake ALL of those cookies at once.

Gladys,
I would love to help you start a blog - go for it!!!:)
Great idea with freezing the cookie dough! Thank you for sharing! I will try it next time (after I finish sneaking the last of the baked ones out of the freezer). Jonathan just rolls his eyes at me:). I figure at least they're full of protein!
Thank you so much for checking out my little spot on the net!
