MONSTER Cookies

Every month, we get the privilege of bringing snack to my son's preschool class. We were thinking together of something to bring, when we saw these amazing cookies. Of course the M&M's caught his eye, but they were fun for us to make together and a great preschool snack :) They don't have ANY flour, so they have a texture similar to a mix between a no-bake cookie and a soft granola bar.

Ingredients:

3 eggs

1/2 cup unsalted butter

1 1/2 cups peanut butter, smooth or chunky

3/4 cup white sugar

1 1/2 cup brown sugar

1 tsp vanilla

1/2 tsp salt

1 tsp baking powder

1 tsp baking soda

4 1/2 cups oatmeal (not instant)

1/2 cup chocolate chips

1/2 cup M&M's (I used mini ones, they worked really good without being too overpowering)

Directions:

Mix eggs and sugars in a bowl with a spoon until well blended. Add softened butter and peanut butter and mix until smooth. Add vanilla and salt and mix again. Dump in oats and sprinkle soda and powder on top of oats. Mix well. Fold in chips and candies. Scoop cookie dough in balls on cookie sheet. Bake at 350 for 8 minutes or until edges are lightly brown. Let sit on cookie sheet for 3 minutes before removing.
