My neighbor made these cookies once–the cookies were huge and the recipe made several dozen cookies. I looked around, tried two or three recipes and came up with my own:

1 cup brown sugar
1/4 cup white sugar
1/2 cup butter or margarine
1 cup peanut butter

2 eggs
1 tsp vanilla
1 tsp baking soda

5 cups oatmeal
1/2 cup chocolate chips (or more if you’re in the mood.)
1/2 cup M&M’s (or more if you want more color…)

Cream sugars, butter and peanut butter. Add egg and vanilla; beat well. Add oatmeal and baking soda; mix well. Add chocolate chips and M&M’s. Chill in fridge for at least 1/2 hour. Drop onto cookie sheet and flatten. Bake at 350° F until done (about 12 – 15 minutes). Do not over bake.
