Monster Cookies (scaled-down version)

1 stick (1/2 c.) butter
1 & 1/4 c. brown sugar
1 c. granulated sugar
3 eggs
1 & 1/2 c. peanut butter (we use creamy)
2 tsp. baking soda
1 tsp. vanilla
1 tsp. light corn syrup
3 & 3/4 c. quick oats
3/4 c. chocolate chips
1 c. M&M candies
Combine and mix first eight ingredients. Add oats and mix well. Add chocolate chips and M&M candy.  Mix by hand to combine. Drop by tablespoonfuls onto ungreased cookie sheet. Bake 350 degrees for 12-13 min. Do not over bake.

Notes:

• Cookie dough is very thick. Mix by hand or use heavy-duty mixer like KitchenAid.
• Always use good quality ingredients: butter, real vanilla, real chocolate chips, etc. Better ingredients = better cookies!
• We use Pampered Chef tablespoon cookie scoop.
• For crunchy cookie, bake slightly longer. For soft and chewy, bake 12-13 min. and remove from oven. Allow cookie to cool on cookie sheet 5-6 min. before removing from sheet. Allow cookies to completely cool on wire racks.
• Freeze cookies after 1-2 days.
