MONSTER BREAKFAST COOKIES
These are a perfect treat when on the go, or first thing in the morning before a run/walk, or in the middle of the night while nursing a hungry infant! Walnuts are a great add (try 1/2 cup raisins and 1/2 cup walnuts), but they do make the cookies a bite drier. You can use white flour or a mixture of white and whole-wheat.

PAULA DEEN'S MONSTER COOKIES
Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Line cookie sheets with parchment paper or nonstick baking mats. 1. Beat the eggs and sugars 2. Beat in Add the salt, vanilla, peanut butter, and butter. 3. Beat in baking soda, and oatmeal 4. Put in fridge for 30 min (unsure if this is needed, but some people said the dough was too sticky, I did this and it was perfect, also try upping the oatmeal) 5. Divide dough if you plan to make different kinds of cookies. 6. Mix in candy. It is possible to over do this step but if you its ok see below. 7. Drop cookies on pan, and try and get them to stick together as much as possible. You can do balls larger than a tablespoon and they come out great. Flatten cookies a little. Then with the excess candy, insert into the dough on top so the cookies are candy coated as well. Note: This cookies do not spread that that much, so even space is not a huge issue. 8. Bake for 9 minutes. Be sure they come out still a little doughy looking! Let stand for a few minutes then transfer to wire racks. 9. If using the next day, store unrefrigerated (so they stay softer) in an air tight container.

These are huge cookies that the kids will love to get their little hands on. They are great to take to picnics or gatherings. I used to take them to Sunday School picnics when my grandkids were little. I even did a double batch for a treat at AWANA. Adults like them, too. They have delicious flavor. You may notice that there is no flour in the recipe--that is correct--there is no flour. The oats bind it together.
