Monster Cookies

We aren't sure if these are really "Christmas cookies" or not but Marianne's boyfriend has been asking for them since before the blog started. So when we were running low on some ingredients (flour) we gave in. These don't have any flour in them, so they might be considered gluten free. 

They are easy to make and very yummy!. Just don't over bake them or they will be brown and hard.  Enjoy!

Ingredients:

• 3 eggs
• 1 1/4 cups packed light brown sugar
• 1 cup granulated sugar
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1 12 ounce jar creamy peanut butter
• 1 stick butter, softened
• 1/2 cup multi-colored chocolate candies
• 1/2 cup chocolate chips
• 1/4 cup raisins (optional)
• 2 teaspoons baking soda
• 4 1/2 cups quick-cooking oatmeal (not instant)

Directions:

1. Preheat oven to 350
2. Line cookie sheets with parchment paper and set aside
3. In a very large mixing bowl, combine the eggs and sugars and mix well
4. Add the salt, vanilla, peanut butter, and butter and mix well
5. Stir in the chocolate candies, chocolate chips, raisins (optional), baking soda, and oatmeal
6. Drop by tablespoons 2 inches apart onto the prepared cookie sheets
7. Bake for 8 to 10 minutes - do not over bake
8. Let stand for about 3 minutes before transferring to wire racks to cool
9. When cool, store in large resealable plastic bags
