Mini Monster Cookies

Although not as large as traditional Monster Cookies, these Mini Monsters are just as delicious.

This recipe is from my grandma. It's one of my favorite of her cookie recipes. She tends to make her monster cookies about twice as big as we do. I've seen similar cookies in coffee shops that are even bigger, more monstrous. We tend to make them smaller because then they are the perfect size for snacking, and my cookie scoop is one Tablespoon. Sometimes I'll make one really big cookie with that last of the dough when I need to finish up quickly; the kids call that the DADDY cookie. :) Big or small, we love them all.

Mini Monster Cookies
3 eggs
1 cup brown sugar
1 cup white sugar
1/2 cup butter
1 Tablespoon corn syrup
1 teaspoon vanilla
2 teaspoons baking soda
4 1/2 cups oatmeal
1 cup m&ms
1 cup chocolate chips
1 1/2 cups peanut butter

• Mix all the ingredients.
• Drop Tablespoon sized dough balls onto an ungreased baking sheet. A cookie scoop works great for this.
• Bake 11-12 minutes at 350*.
• Let cookies cool for one minute on the pan before transferring to a cooling rack.

Notes: If you do make a big monster cookie, make sure to flatten the dough when you place it on the cookie sheet and bake for a couple of extra minutes.
