Monster Cookies (Paula Deen)

• 3 eggs
• 1 1/4 cups brown sugar
• 1 cup sugar
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1/2 teaspoon vanilla
• 1 (12 ounce) jar peanut butter
• 1/2 cup butter, softened
• 1/2 cup candy covered plain chocolate candies (such as M & M's)
• 1/2 cup chocolate chips
• 1/4 cup raisins (optional)
• 1/4 cup nuts, chopped (any kind) (optional)
• 2 teaspoons baking soda
• 4 1/2 cups oats (the quick cooking kind)

1. Pre heat oven to 350 degrees.
2. Spray a cookie sheet with non stick spray.
3. In a large bowl combine eggs and sugars; mix well.
4. Add salt, vanilla, peanutbutter, and butter (sometimes I don't use all the butter it calls for and it still turns out fine!). Mix well.
5. Stir in M & M's, chocolate chips, and raisins and nuts (if using), baking soda and oatmeal.
6. Drop by tablespoonfuls, 2 inches apart on prepared cookie sheet.
7. Bake for 8-10 minutes. Do not overbake.
8. Enjoy!
