Monster Cookies

I always make baked goods for the girl’s track team and the boys get mad if I don’t have enough for them too. My one friend in particular has on multiple occasions tried to steal them away, though I have never failed to find them stashed near his stuff. This time though, I’m making him his own bucket of cookies so I don’t have to listen to any more complaining from him.

I thought it would only be appropriate to make “Monster Cookies” for him. The original recipe came from Paula Deen, but I changed it around just a bit.

Ingredients:

1 egg

½ cup packed brown sugar

1/3 cup white sugar

¼ teaspoon vanilla extract

¼ teaspoon corn syrup

¾ teaspoon baking soda

2 tablespoons and 2 teaspoons butter

½ cup creamy peanut butter

¼ sweetened coconut flakes

1 ½ cups rolled oats

1/3 cup semisweet chocolate chips

½ cup M&M's

I give you permission to
taste the batter.

Directions:

Preheat the oven to 350 F and grease cookie sheets. In a bowl, combine the eggs and sugars and mix well. Add the salt, vanilla, peanut butter, and butter, and then finally the unsweetened coconut and baking soda. Stir in the M&M's, chocolate chips, and oats.

Drop by tablespoons 2 inches apart onto the prepared cookie sheets.

Bake for 8 to 10 minutes, and do not over bake. Let the cookies cool for about 3 minutes before transferring to wire racks to cool. 

A bucket of cookies he can hoard for himself.
