Monster Cookies

School starts back up in less than 2 weeks.

That makes me sad.

When I am sad, I like to bake cookies.
 Homemade cookies are a great way to cheer up!
Plus, on our Summer List we put "Make Cookies for our Neighbors"
We knew just the cookies to make:

 Here is what you need:

1 1/3 cup all purpose flour

1 teaspoon baking powder
1 teaspoon baking soda
1/4 teaspoon salt

1 egg
1 stick of butter, softened
1 teaspoon vanilla
1 cup quick oats
1/3 cup m&ms
2/3 cup chocolate chips (I use milk chocolate)
1/2 cup brown sugar, packed
1/2 cup white sugar

1/2 cup Peanut Butter (I use Skippy Natural)

 Directions:
Add all ingredients to a bowl (except chocolate chip and m&m's)

 Beat well for about 1-2 minutes.

 Then add chocolate chips and m&m's.

 Stir until combined.

 Using a cookie scoop, form into balls.

 Bake at 350 for 10-12 minutes.

When slightly cooled, transfer to a cooling rack.
Your kitchen smells amazing at this point.

This recipe makes 2 dozen cookies.

These are some of our favorite cookies.
Oatmeal? Good. Chocolate Chips? Good. M&M's? Good. Peanut Butter? Good.
What's not to like?!?

Enjoy!
