Monster Cookies

Submitted by Pardeemom

"These are very crisp, crunchy cookies that are full of chocolatey goodness. A big hit in our house. For this recipe I recommend weighing your oats, I found that when using a measuring cup I get way too many oats as opposed to using the weight on the carton. I also used a medium cookie scoop to measure out the cookies (probably 1/8th of a cup). Since it makes 66 cookies I recommend making some dough balls and freezing them until firm, then putting them in a freezer bag to bake at a later time. Then you can just pull out what you need and bake them. Prep time is an estimate."

These cookies were a disappointment - crumbly and falling apart. Helped my son make these for a 4H project - and they are not presentable for a project.

This was not my favorite monster cookie recipe, though it was simple, and I had all the ingredients on hand. I think it could use more flavor (perhaps more PB).

I left out the butter and substituted 3 cups of oat meal with 3 cups of wholewheat flour. They were delish! I also offered them to guests and everybody liked them. Thank you for sharing.

I have made these cookies twice, and they are the BEST! I love the fact that you can freeze what you do not use on the day you make them! Also I used natural peanut butter, instead of the commercial brands. If you are looking for a great cookie recioe this one will not let you down!! Thank you pardeemom for a keeper!
