Monster Cookies
1 cube butter/margarine softened
12 oz peanut smooth, or a smidge more if crunchy
1 C granulated sugar
1 1/4 C brown sugar
1/2 t vanilla (I never remember to add this, and they are always fine)
1/2 t salt-I just eyeball a healthy dash
4 1/2 C Old Fashioned oats (the original recipe calls for quick cooking, but I prefer Old Fashioned)
12 oz chocolate chips
Mix together the butter, PB, sugars, vanilla. Add in eggs one at a time till combined. Stir in the oats, baking soda and salt. Add chips, bake. 350 degrees for about 12 minutes.
I don't use the mixer on this because it is a large mix and if you soften your butter it is easy to do by hand. Its hard to kill these-but don't be tempted to overbake. I have added PB chips or Reeses Pieces, as well as used about 16 ounces of crunchy PB instead of creamy. The original recipe is by Paula Dean from www.foodnetwork.com, but I have made enough mods to call it my own mostly :D
