This is one of our favorite cookie recipes. I always feel like it is a little healthier as it takes no flour, only oatmeal. Because Gene is pre-diabetic I also cut back on the sugar. I will put in ( ) what I do.
In a large bowl (use large tuperware bowl):
- 6 Eggs
- 2 sticks or 1 c. butter, soften
- 2 c. brown sugar (1 c. brown sugar plus 1/2 c. brown sugar Splenda. You can play with ratio even more if you like)
- 2 c. white sugar (2 c. Splenda)
Beat until well mixed and stir in:
- 28 oz. jar smooth peanut butter (can use crunchy)
- 4 tsp. soda
- 2 T. Light Karo syrup
- 1-1/2 tsp vanilla
- 9 c. Minute oatmeal (Note: a 1 lb. 2 oz can is 7 cups)
- 1 c. M & M’s
- 1 c. Peanut M & M’s
- 1 c. Chocolate Chips
- 1 c. White Chocolate Chips
Bake at 350 degrees for 10-12 minutes.
Yield: 12-14 dozen. These cookies freeze well.
