the BEST cookies EVER!!!

When I think about my kids and what kinds of things I want them to remember about me, I won't lie, I want them to remember me for these cookies.
I want them to tell their friends, "My mom makes the BEST monster cookies, EVER!!!" And I want them to use three exclamation points and all.

These really are incredible cookies. The first time I had them, I ate a dozen. And anyone who eats them for the first time, eats a dozen. They are THAT good.

I won't be egotistical and say the recipe was mine to begin with.
I got it from a friend about 7 years ago.

I am a firm believer that the color of M&M's determines how good they taste.
And while these are pink/hot pink (for breast cancer awareness) (they were on sale) my color of choice is green. If I could buy ten bags of M&M's a only use only the green ones, I would.

The dough overflows my largest Pyrex bowl when complete.
It's messy.
It's delicious.
It makes A TON!
(Usually I freeze half.)

The recipe:
6 eggs
2 2/3 cups brown sugar
2 cups white sugar
1/2 tbsp. vanilla
1/2 tbsp. corn syrup
4 tsp. baking soda
2 sticks butter (softened)
2 2/3 cup peanut butter
9 cups oatmeal
1 12oz bag choc. chips
1 12oz bag M&Ms

Mix ingredients in the order listed, mixing thoroughly after each addition. Using a ice cream scoop, or a 2 tbsp. spoon, drop onto cookie sheets about 1 1/2 inches apart. Bake for 12 mins. at 350 degrees. Let them sit on the cookies sheet for 2 mins before removing them to cookie rack.

ENJOY! and may your kids also think you're the best mom in the universe for making these scrumptious and satisfying treats!
