Monster Cookies

 

Monster Cookies is my Aunt Audrey's recipe and it is so so  yummy.  She would make these when we all came to visit in the summer.  I am sure all of my cousins remember them.

 

1 cup butter flavored Crisco

1 cup granulated sugar

1 cup + 2 tablespoon brown sugar

3 eggs

1 ½ cups creamy peanut butter

1 teaspoon vanilla

1 teaspoon Karo syrup

4 ½ cups quick oats

2 teaspoon baking soda

¼ teaspoon salt

1 cup mini M&M's (I use regular because I usually have them on hand.  And I like to use dark chocolate M&M's rather than milk chocolate)

½ cup chocolate chips (bittersweet)

½ cup butterscotch chips

 

Cream together Crisco, sugars, and peanut butter.  

Add in eggs, vanilla, karo syrup.  Mix well.  

Mix in oats, salt and baking soda.  

Stir in candies.  

Press into ¼ measuring cup and place on greased cookie sheet.  flatten lightly.  

Bake at 350 degrees for 12-15 minutes.
