Monster Cookies

½ cup margarine, softened         3 eggs

1 cup brown sugar                             1 cup sugar

1 ½ cups peanut butter               1 tsp. vanilla

4 ½ cups oatmeal                        2 tsp. baking soda

1 cup chocolate chips                  1 cup M&Ms candy  

Directions:  Preheat oven to 350 degrees.  Combine margarine, eggs, sugars, peanut butter, and vanilla.  Gradually add oatmeal and baking soda.  Stir in chocolate chips and M&Ms. 

Drop batter onto greased cookie sheets.  Bake 8 minutes.  Check cookies by inserting spatula under edge of one cookie and lifting gently.   If it bends, it needs more time.  If cookie stays flat, it’s ready to come out.  Leave on cookie sheet for 2 minutes before removing to cooling rack.

Comment:  There is no flour in these cookies.  When Mom makes these, Eric is a happycamper.
