Monster Cookies (Rarrr!)


Monster cookies! Called that because they are BIG cookies if you follow the recipe. You can make them smaller, but why would you want to? These have become a favorite around here as they are quick and easy to make and are super yummy!


Ingredients:
  • 1 1/4 cups packed brown sugar
  • 1/2 cup shortening
  • 2 eggs
  • 2 1/2 cups baking mix (store bought or home made)
  • 1 cup oats (old-fashioned or quick cook)
  • 1 cup M&M's, chocolate chips, butter scotch chips, peanut butter chips, white chocolate chips or what ever you have on hands
  • 1/2 cup raisins (optional)
  • 1/2 cup chopped nuts (optional)

Directions:

  1. Preheat oven to 375'F. In a large bowl, beat brown sugar, shortening and eggs till smooth. Stir in remaining ingredients.
  2. On an ungreased cookie sheet, drop by 1/4 cupfuls about 2 inches apart. Flatten to about 1/2-inch thickness with the bottom of a glass that has been lightly sprayed with oil.
  3. Bake 12 to 16 minutes or until golden brown. Cool for about 3 minutes before trying to remove from the cookie sheet.

Makes about 1 1/2 dozen cookies.

This is what we chose to do with a few of our cookies. Yes, that's ice cream and it was GOOD! :o)
