This recipe combines several favorite flavors-peanut butter, butterscotch and chocolate-in one big cookie, writes Patricia Schroedl of Jefferson, Wisconsin. Before baking, I like to press a few extra M&M's on top for added color. Ingredients:
1 cup peanut butter |
1/2 cup butter, softened |
1-1/4 cups packed brown sugar |
1 cup sugar |
3 eggs |
2 teaspoons baking soda |
1 teaspoon vanilla extract |
4 cups quick-cooking oats |
1 cup m&m's |
1 cup butterscotch chips |
1 cup salted peanuts |
2 cups all-purpose flour |
Directions:
1. In a large bowl, cream peanut butter, butter and sugars. Add eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition. Add baking soda and vanilla. Add oats, M&M's, butterscotch chips and peanuts; let stand for 10 minutes. Stir in flour (the dough will be crumbly).
2. Shape 1/4 cupfuls into balls. Place on greased baking sheets, about nine cookies on each sheet. Gently flatten cookies. Bake at 325° for 15-18 minutes or until edges are lightly browned. Remove to wire racks. Yield: about 2-1/2 dozen.
