Monster Cookies

Monster cookies are very popular.  Make a bunch - they freeze well.

* 1 cup butter, softened
* 2 cups white sugar
* 2 cups packed brown sugar
* 3 cups peanut butter
* 6 eggs
* 1 1/2 teaspoons corn syrup
* 1 1/2 teaspoons vanilla extract
* 4 teaspoons baking soda
* 9 cups rolled oats
* 1/2 pound candy-coated milk chocolate pieces
* 1/2 pound semisweet mini-chocolate chips

Preheat oven to 350 degrees.

1. In a large bowl, cream together the margarine, white sugar, brown sugar, and peanut butter until smooth. Beat in the eggs, two at a time, then stir in the corn syrup and vanilla. 
2. Mix in baking soda and oats until well blended. Stir in the chocolate candies and chocolate chips. 
3. Use a 1/4 cup scoop or measuring cup to measure out the dough, and place 3 inches apart on an ungreased cookie sheet. Flatten slightly with a fork or your hand.
4. Bake for 12 to 15 minutes in the preheated oven, until golden brown. If you take them out too soon you’ll have a pile of smush when you try to take them off. Don’t ask how I know this.
5. Cool on cookie sheets for a few minutes, before transferring to wire racks to cool completely.
