Monster Cookies

The first time I made these cookies I sent them along with my dad and brother to a hockey game. One lady who tried them said they were the best cookies she'd ever had!


3 eggs
1 cup sugar
1 cup brown sugar
1\2 cup soft margarine
1 tsp. vanilla
1 tsp. light corn syrup
1 1\2 cups peanut butter
2 tsp. baking soda
3 1\2 cups quick oatmeal
1 cup chocolate chips
1 cup M&M's

Measure all ingredients in a large bowl in the order given. Mix thoroughly. Place onto greased cookie sheet. Bake at 350 degrees for 10 to 13 minutes. Don't overbake! These are flat, moist cookies! If you like, add 1 - 2 cups flour. These cookies are great without the flour, though. Instead of adding the M&M's to the dough, you can press them in the top of the cookies before baking.
Yield: About 25 monstrous cookies!

Variation: Spread the cookie dough on a pizza pan and sprinkle M&Ms on top or whatever else you want ( coconut, craisins, peanut butter chips...) to make a cookie pizza!

Grandma's Honey Cookie Recipe

This is a large recipe. It makes about a hundred cookies! I usually half it.

2 cups honey
2 cups rogers syrup
2 cups brown sugar ( A little less is fine )
1 1\2 cups butter or margarine
3 eggs
1 1\2 cups cream
1 tablespoon baking soda
2 teaspoons baking powder
1 1\2 teaspoons star anise ( This is optional )
13 cups flour

For the icing:
milk
vanilla (a tiny bit)
butter
icing sugar

Cream together butter, sugar, eggs, honey and syrup.
Add cream and sifted dry ingredients, but only put in 12 cups flour.
Add the last cup when batter is smooth.
Before you roll them out, it's best to chill the dough for about 30 minutes to an hour. Bake at 350 degrees for about ten minutes. Careful not to let them get dark!
To make the icing, put all the ingredients together and mix. Don't bother measuring! Be creative with the amounts!
