This recipe combines several favorite flavors – peanut butter, butterscotch, and chocolate – in one big cookie. Before baking you can press a few extra M&M's on top for added color.
1 cup of peanut butter
½ cup of butter or margarine, softened
1 ¼ cups of packed brown sugar
1 cup of sugar
3 eggs
2 tsp. baking soda
1 tsp. vanilla extract
4 cups of quick cooking oats
1 cup of M&M's
1 cup of butterscotch chips
1 cup of salted peanuts
2 cups of all-purpose flour
In a large mixing 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). Shape ¼ cupfuls into balls. Place on greased baking sheets, about nine cookies per sheet. Gently flatten cookies. Bake at 325° for 15-18 minutes or until edges are lightly browned. Remove to wire racks.
Yield: about 2 ½ dozen
