Ingredients
-
1 1/2 cups peanut butter
1/2 cup butter
1 cup packed brown sugar
1 cup granulated sugar
3 eggs
2 teaspoons vanilla
3 teaspoons baking soda
4 1/2 cups quick-cooking oatmeal
3/4 cup semi-sweet chocolate bit
3/4 cup candy-coated chocolates (I use M&M's)
3/4 cup chopped walnuts (could use peanuts)
Preparation
-
In a large bowl with mixer at medium speed, beat together the first 4 ingredients till light and fluffy.
Add eggs and vanilla; beat 2 minutes.
Blend in baking soda.
Stir in oats and remaining ingredients.
Dough will be very stiff and crumbly.
Drop dough by 1/3 cup measures, 4\" apart on a ungreased baking sheet.
Flatten with a spatula to 3 1/2\" cookies.
Bake in 350 oven for 12-14 minutes or till golden.
Remove and cool on racks.
NOTE:
If you need more than 22 cookies, you may use a 1/4 cup measure, but they will not be quite as huge as the other measure.
