Monster Cookies

When my husband was growing up his mother would make these cookies every time they went on a long car trip.  We now like to make them when we go on car trips.  However, if I am not careful we will eat the whole full batch within the first couple of hours.

The recipe makes an incredible amount of cookies.  Sometimes I am in the mood to make an entire batch and sometimes I am not.  To give you the ability to have these moods I am providing the ingredients for a full batch and a partial batch.  Emily makes these egg-free by substituting the eggs with an egg substitute and it works great.

Full Batch

6 eggs

1 lb of brown sugar

2 cups of sugar

1/2 tbs of vanilla

1/2 tbs of Karo syrup (use Golden Syrup for low FODMAPS)

1/2 tsp of salt

4 tsps of soda (I prefer baking powder)

1/2 lb of butter (can use a non-dairy substitute)

3 cups of peanut butter

9 cups of gluten-free oats

12 oz of chocolate chips

M&Ms (only if you are not strict about non-dairy or food coloring)

Mix all ingredients together.  Bake at 350 degrees for 10 minutes.

Partial Batch

1 egg

1/2 cup of brown sugar

1/2 cup of sugar

1/4 tsp of vanilla

1/4 tsp of Karo syrup

2/3 tsp of soda

3 tbs of butter

3/4 cup of peanut butter

1 1/2 cups of gluten-free oats

4 oz of chocolate chips

M&Ms

Mix all ingredients together.  Bake at 350 degrees for 10 minutes.
