A recipe from my local newspaper that my grandmother kept and was passed onto me. Ingredients:
2 cups butter or 2 cups margarine, softened |
6 1/4 cups creamy peanut butter |
4 1/2 cups firmly packed brown sugar |
4 cups granulated sugar |
1 tablespoon light corn syrup |
1 tablespoon vanilla |
2 tablespoons baking soda |
2 teaspoons baking soda |
12 eggs |
1 (12 ounce) bag chocolate chips |
1 (16 ounce) bag plain m&m's |
18 cups regular oatmeal or 18 cups quick-cooking oatmeal, uncooked |
Directions:
1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
2. In a very large bowl or a dishpan, cream together butter and peanut butter. Add brown and granulated sugars, corn syrup, vanilla, baking soda, eggs, chocolate chips, M&M's, and oatmeal.
3. Use an ice cream scoop or a 1/4-cup measure to dip out dough. Flatten cookies on ungreased baking sheet, leaving ample room for spreading - place 8 on large cookie sheet or 6 on a jellyroll pan.
4. Bake about 15 minutes, depending on size. After cooking a minute or two, carefully remove to wire rack to cool completely. Decorate, if desired.
