Monster Cookies

Submitted by Queen Dana

"I love monster cookies. The original recipe that I got from my mom made a lot of cookies and it called for 18 eggs but I have scaled down that recipe. I found that winter rowand had posted a similar monster cookie recipe but mine is a little bit different so I thought I would go ahead and continue to post it; the link to that recipe is listed below. I make these into "Breakfast Cookies" for my husband to eat in the morning by substituting raisins in place of the chocolate, M&M's and butterscotch and using light molasses instead of corn syrup. I usually refrigerate the dough for 30 mins before baking, but I won't go as far as to say it's necessary. *I said the recipe makes 3 dozen cookies but I make them pretty large. http://www.recipezaar.com/recipe/getrecipe.zsp?scaleto=50&sys=e&id=124822"

These cookies are fantastic. I exchanged the butterscotch chips with toffee pieces. I just like the crunch they add. So glad I tried this recipe. It will be a regular cookie in my house for now on.
