Kids-Cook

October began with Monster Mania in our house. After school the two younger girls and I made Monster Cookies. These cookies are so big and the girls love the thought that they have peanut butter, chocolate chips and m&m’s in the dough.

Monster Cookie Recipe (The Ultimate Southern Living Cookbook)
1/2 cup margarine or butter, softened
1 cup sugar
1 cup plus 2 tablespoons firmly packed brown sugar
2 cups peanut butter
3 large eggs
1 teaspoon light corn syrup
1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract
4 1/2 cups regular oats, uncooked
2 teaspoons baking soda
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 cup M&M’s
1 cup semisweet chocolate chips

Beat butter at medium speed with an electric mixer until creamy; gradually add sugars, beating well. Add peanut butter and next 3 ingredients; beat well. Add oats, soda and salt; stire well. Stir in chocolate pieces and chips. (Dough will be stiff.) Pack dough into a 1/4 cup measure. Drop dough 4 inches apart onto lightly greased cookie sheets. Lightly press each cookie with fingertips into a 3 1/2 inch circle. Bake at 350 degrees for 12 to 15 minutes (centers of cookies will be soft). Cool slightly on cookie sheets; remove to wire racks to cool.

After we got the cookies done the girls got all snuggled in with their dad to watch one of his favorite kids’ movies Monsters, Inc.
