The recipe for monster cookies is:
1 doz. eggs
2 lbs. brown sugar
4 cups white sugar
1 tbsp vanilla
8 tsp soda
1 lb butter ( preferably real butter)
3 lbs. peanut butter
18 cups oatmeal (NOT quick oats)
1 lb. Chocolate Chips
1 lb. M&M's
1 tbsp syrup ( any kind)
Cream peanut butter, butter, and sugars together. Add syrup and vanilla. Beat in eggs one at a time. Mix in oatmeal and soda thoroughly. Add chocolate chips and M&M's.
Drop onto cookie sheets with an ice cream scoop and flatten by hand. Put only 6 cookies per sheet. Bake for approximately 12-15 minutes in a 350 dergree oven. Or until golden brown. This recipe will make anywhere up to 16 dozen cookies. It has never made that many for us as we eat the dough before it all gets baked. It is easy to cut the recipe in half if you want a smaller batch. This is the original recipe from my mother. We used three pound coffee cans to store the extra cookies.(they didn't last long though.) Hope you enjoy them. Now I will have to see about making a small batch one of these days since I had to think about them to type this in here. Sorry it took so long to get this out to you Dragon but I was in eastern Washington for about a week and a half. Just got back and found your message so here it is. Later.
dragon
Thank you thank you thank you thank you.....
What in the world did you find big enough to mix this in? 18 cups of oatmeal??? A full dozen eggs???? My cookie making bowl will only hold enough dough for five dozen cookies and I thought that was huge!
ZooKeeper
dragon -- we usually used a dishpan...
Bookworm
I use the dish pan that we have. It is easy enough to cut in half for a smaller batch. I still haven't had a chance to make some but soon hopefully.
Solitaire
Cement mixers work well too though..
ZooKeeper
I have the chocolate chips, and a bunch of the other stuff too...
bring the rest and we can make a killer batch of cookies... <giggling evilly>
ZooKeeper
I suppose they do, though you'd probably have to triple the batch for one of those...
Bookworm
True Soli. You really need one if you are going to make a double batch.
Bookworm
ZK- Why you going to put arsenic in them ? :>
MontyL
I have a good cement mixer... }:>
Corpus Delectable
Thanks!!!!
ZooKeeper
bw -- nope... not this time.
Ozzie
The recipe looks terrific and now, if I can just find a big enough bowl.....
Bookworm
Ozzie- I will hopefully get a chance to make some in the near future and if so will make sure you get a couple.
Ozzie
Thanks Bookworm:)
claire downey
Wow, an area where people discuss chocolate seriously...
Bookworm
No guarantees that it will be right away. But it will be fairly soon.
Lord Vader
Monty, been fitting people for a new pair of shoes?
ZooKeeper
but of course, chocolate *is* serious!
MontyL
No, I haven't, Vader. But the desire arises sometimes... }:>
Ozzie
Yes, you definitely don't want to mess around with chocolate with this crowd! :)
Bookworm
Very true ZK!
ZooKeeper
oh yeah! I have haagen dazs bars in the freezer!
(toodling out to get a coffee almond crunch bar...)
Sean Beougher
Heh, wait a minute!! You sent me out the door without giving me one?! Sheesh, some people say they are your friends, but when it comes to chocolate, that's another matter. I'll just have to devour the chocolate in my fridge now...
ZooKeeper
hey! you left without devouring your share, and I didn't want them to feel unloved. <snicker>
MontyL
Bring me one, too!
ZooKeeper
I would Monty, but it'd be melted by the time it got there and that would be tragic! poor, unappreciated chocolate left to melt... oh no!
ZooKeeper
Monty -- that's why I don't risk it... :>
Bookworm
Don't we all CD?
Sean Beougher
Well, if you would have given it to my before I left it wouldn't be a problem ZK. :>
ZooKeeper
well, heck, you never asked! besides, we were preoccupied.

I like chocolate in moderation. I don't like triple-chocolate cake with dark chocolate frosting and semi-sweet chocolate chips inside, with chocolate ice cream on the side.
But I like peanut-butter Snicker's bars.
Ozzie
Peanut butter snicker bars? Gee, I've never seen those. Where do you get those?
Corpus Delectable
They']ve been around for a few years now, just about everywhere, just look for the snicker's bars that say Peanut Butter....they have the peanut butter instead of the caramel, I think....I tried one a few times.....I love chocolate but can't handle large amounts of it, & I don't like things that are too rich....'cept for friends, of course...heheheh :)
Ruwenda
I love peanut butter M & M's the best, and Reeses. Mmm...
But not right now. I've been eating all day... bleah...
Bookworm
Yeah Reeses are good. I'll have to get some tomorrow.
ZooKeeper
I think the Peanut Butter Snickers have red wrappers... I think...
Bookworm
Yeah they do.
Megamol
and boy are they delicious...(although mint Hersheys remain my favorite...)
Bookworm
They are good aren't they Megamol?
ZooKeeper
I still like Almond M&M's the best of "over the counter" chocolate... ;>
Torch Song
Megamol, I *knew* there were more than four reasons to feel comfortable with you!
ZooKeeper
TS -- and what, pray tell, are the other four?
Raistlin
Yes they are. I prefer Nestle's myself.
Megamol
ZK...that was too weird. I read TS's message and was gonna respond with exactly the same words and then read yours and you'd already said it......hmmmm...are you reading my mind ahead of time????
Bookworm
Number one I think is that she is crazy enough to fit in here.
Corpus Delectable
Megamol: I agree!!! Mint hershey bars are my fave too.....but a large bag of mint chocolate chips is good too....
ZooKeeper
well that could do it!
Megamol
I like the little cookie bits in the mint Hersheys, so the mint chips don't quite cut it, unless of course I have some Oreos to go with!!!!
ZooKeeper
Molly -- not intentionally... sis and I do that all the time.
sis -- I think there's another one of us floating around here... :>
Ozzie
Now I know why I like all you people! Chocolate addicts, each and every one of us <sigh, what bliss ;> >
ZooKeeper
Ozzie -- shh! they'll make it a controlled substance! {:O
:>
dragon
Ben and Jerry's double chocolate fudge swirl. Smooth...no chunks.
'nuff said.
FuzzyWuzzy
Oh no, not another one! <egads>
Torch Song
Sure looks like it, Sis... and I couldn't be more pleased! <snicker>
Corpus Delectable
mint-flavored whipped cream, frozen or almost frozen with lots of crushed minty-oreo-type cookies stirred in.....how's that?? :)
Ozzie
However, there is also Chocolate chip cookie dough by Breyers. <sigh>
Megamol
Yum Yum.....I'll be right over CD!!!
Ozzie
uh huh That sounds pretty good, too! :)
