Taste of Home Tuesday: Monster Cookies

This recipe did not come out of the Taste of Home. Justin decided he wanted "big" cookies on Saturday and I had seen these cookies on another blog and thought they would be fun to try. They are my new favorite cookie! We loved them! They would be perfect for Christmas with red and green M&M's!!
 Monster Cookies from Everyday Home Cook
1 cup packed brown sugar
1/2 cup white sugar
1/2 cup butter, softened
3 eggs
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
2 teaspoons baking soda
1 1/2 cups peanut butter
4 1/2 cups oats (quick cooking or old-fashioned)
1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
1 cup M&M’s

Preheat oven to 350.
Beat together butter and sugars.
Add eggs, vanilla extract, and baking soda, and mix well.
Mix in peanut butter until well-blended.
Add oats and stir until combined.
Mix in chocolate chips and M&M’s.
Drop cookies by ice cream scoopful (or normal sized) about 2 inches apart on an ungreased baking sheet.
Bake in preheated 350 degree F oven for 15 to 20 minutes.
Let cookies cool on baking sheets before moving to wire racks.
Makes 2 dozen “monster” cookies, or 4 to 5 dozen regular-sized cookies
