Who wants a cookie?

I know you want one.....

The kids are at Grandmas for the week, I don't have to work tomorrow, my husband started talking about Monster Cookies- so what do I do at 10:00pm?
That's right- I made cookies!



And they're Delicious!!
I didn't have a recipe for Monster Cookies, so I made one up.  (I made a variation of my chocolate chip cookies- that are awesome!)

Here's what I came up with:

Mix:
1/2 c Butter
1/2 c Peanut Butter
1 c Crisco
1/2 c White Sugar
1 & 1/2 c Brown Sugar
4 eggs
2 tsp Vanilla
2 packages of Instant Vanilla Pudding mix
Mix together until very fluffy
Add:
3 & 3/4 c Flour
2 c Oats
2 Teaspoons Baking Soda
Mix until well combined
Add 1/2 bag Chocolate Chips, 1/2 bag Plain M&Ms, and 1/2c chopped peanuts.  Gently mix in to batter.
Drop batter on to baking sheet (with an ice cream scoop) and bake at 335* for around 15 minutes or until done.  

These are Big cookies and because of the pudding mix they should stay soft and chewy.  (My chocolate chip cookies will stay soft and chewy for a week when kept closed in a ziplock bag).

Happy eating!
Thanks for stopping by!
