Why is it that all Monster Cookies are made in MONSTER portions! lol!
I FINALLY finished baking these cookies and I started around 5:00! Had to take some time off for supper and a few minutes in between batches for Extreme Makeover! lol! But geesh! 4 hours!!
I NEVER thought I'd use that giant SS bowl for anything and had actually planned on selling it rather than keeping it for myself. But I simply didn't have a big enough bowl to make these in today. So I pulled it out of my PC stash and it worked great! I do need a more powerful mixer though or at least more powerful arms! My shoulders are KILLING me!
I'll add the recipe that I used today at the bottom of this because they were really really good. Just hard to work with. I also cut it down quite a bit so I wasn't baking all day. Good thing too cuz if I hadn't I'd be in the kitchen till dawn!
Linda's Monster Cookies
INGREDIENTS
1 cup margarine
1 cup butter
2 cups light brown sugar
2 cups white sugar
4 eggs
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
4 cups all-purpose flour
2 teaspoons baking soda
1 teaspoon baking powder
1 teaspoon salt
4 cups rolled oats
2 cups semisweet chocolate chips
1 cup candy-coated chocolate pieces
DIRECTIONS
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease cookie sheets.
In a very large bowl, cream together the margarine, butter, brown sugar and white sugar until smooth. Beat in the eggs one at a time then stir in the vanilla. Combine the flour, baking soda, baking powder, salt and rolled oats; stir into the sugar mixture. Mix in chocolate chips and candy-coated chocolate pieces. Drop by tablespoonfuls onto the prepared cookie sheets.
Bake for 10 to 11 minutes in the preheated oven, or until the edges are golden. If you like chewy cookies, take them out before they look done.
I substitued peanut butter for the margarine because someone who commented about this recipe said they did! And I wanted peanut butter! lol!
I DID bake on the stone. I wouldn't bake cookies on anything other than a stone! That's how I learned to use my stoneware truthfully. These cookies DO NOT spread. You really do have to smoosh them down. By the last two batches my hands hurt so bad from squeezing the Large Scoop that I resorted to the hamburger patty method! Worked great!
