These are huge cookies that the kids will love to get their little hands on. They are great to take to picnics or gatherings. I used to take them to Sunday School picnics when my grandkids were little. I even did a double batch for a treat at AWANA. Adults like them, too. They have delicious flavor. You may notice that there is no flour in the recipe-that is correct-there is no flour. The oats bind it together. Ingredients:
1 1/2 cups peanut butter |
1/2 cup butter |
1 cup packed brown sugar |
1 cup granulated sugar |
3 eggs |
2 teaspoons vanilla |
3 teaspoons baking soda |
4 1/2 cups quick-cooking oatmeal |
3/4 cup semi-sweet chocolate bit |
3/4 cup candy-coated chocolates (i use m&m's) |
3/4 cup chopped walnuts (could use peanuts) |
Directions:
1. In a large bowl with mixer at medium speed, beat together the first 4 ingredients till light and fluffy.
2. Add eggs and vanilla; beat 2 minutes.
