Monster Cookies

This recipe was a request from my daughter, Becky, who along with her husband Jon and their 3 children are missionaries in Italy.

1/2 cup softened butter
1 cup sugar
1 cup plus 2 Tbsp. firmly packed brown sugar
3 eggs
2 cups peanut butter
3/4 tsp. light corn syrup
1/4 tsp. vanilla
4 1/2 cups oatmeal
2 tsp. baking soda
1/4 tsp. salt
1 cup M & M's pieces (mini)
1 --6 oz. pkg. chocolate chips

Cream butter and gradually add sugars. Beat at medium speed. Add eggs, peanut butter, syrup, and vanilla. Beat well. Add oats, soda, and salt. Stir well. Stir in remaining ingredients. Dough will be stiff. Pack into 1/4 cup measuring cup. Mound onto lightly greased cookie sheet 4 inches apart. Press into 3 1/2 inch circle. Bake at 350 degrees for 12 to 15 miutes. Center will be slightly soft. Cool on cookie sheet several minutes before removing. Makes approx. 2 1/2 dozen.
