Great recipe. I made about five batches of these for the school bake sale. I changed just a few things. I used 2 cups of butter instead of 1 cup of butter and 1 cup of margarine. I measured out the oats then ran them through the blender before mixing in. I used 1 cup of semisweet chocolate chips, 1 cup of milk chocolate chips, and one cup of M&Ms. I set the oven for 325 degrees instead of 350. I measured out about 1/4 cup of batter, rolled it into a ball, then pressed it down a little bit on the cookie sheet. I left them in the oven for about 16 minutes. The cookies turn out to be about 4 inches across.

WHO would actually complain to your face about your cookies??? This recipe is the best! I make this not only for my family, but for church functions, friends, etc. This makes a huge batch of delicious cookies. The texture from the oatmeal, chocolate chips, and M & M's (which is what I use) is perfect. These cookies turn out perfect every time I bake them. I attribute this to the stoneware which I use to bake cookies. I also use real butter in place of the margarine. (Cookies without REAL butter just taste blah, in my opinion.) I have had many requests for this recipe. Thanks Linda!

I made these cookies for a bake sale. I am known for my 'fabulous' cookies. However, I got nothing but complaints about these cookies.

This was a really good cookie. But I would of liked it to be fuller. So next time I would use peanut butter instead of butter and add more m & m's and smarties.

I took these to work and everyone LOVED them! I actually added more peanut butter and 1/2 cup of butterscotch chips too, just for fun. But a couple people asked for the recipe and they were definitely a hit!

These were really great! I did use peanut butter in place of butter and I found the mixture getting somewhat dry when mixing so I only used 3 cups flour and 3 cups oats. Very tasty and the kids love them!

These cookies were delicious! I only made half of the recipe and I followed MJSJSMITH's ideas, using 1/2 cup of peanut butter, 1/2 cup butter flavor shortening, 1 1/2 cups of brown sugar and a 1/2 cup of white sugar. I also used kosher salt, bread flour instead of all purpose flour, and chocolate chunks instead of chocolate chips. The dough was a bit crumbly but the cookies came out great(crispy on the outside, soft and chewy in the inside). Wonderful cookies!!!

I could screw up the lords prayer when it comes to baking cookies but these were the best things I have ever baked hands down ! The recipe is huge so I scaled down to half.Subsituted the candy coated chocolate for raisins and baked at 325 instead of 350 about 14 minutes. Crispy on the outside and chewy in the middle ! Awesome !

Great cookies, but in the grand tradition of allrecipes, I altered them somewhat. The only monster cookies I've ever had, had peanut butter in them, so I added 1.5 cups p.b., omitting margarine, used butter flavored shortening instead of butter (I like soft and chewy), used 3 cups of b. sugar and 1 cup w. sugar, and finally mini chocolate chips and mini M&Ms-2 cups. These were some serious cookies-very tasty.

These were a huge hit with my family and coworkers. I used 2 other reviews: I made them golf ball sized and flattened them a tiny bit on the pan and baked for 14 minutes. I also omitted the margarine and used 1/2 C more butter and 2 C Peanut Butter. Delicious, beautiful cookies!!!

Maybe I'm just "picky". Flavor was good, but it wasn't the outstanding cookie that I thought it would be. I followed someone's advice and used all butter. They didn't store real well as they were easy to crumble. I would add more M&M's also, and maybe some other goodies. The hunt is on for that extra special cookie though!

These are some of the best cookies I have ever eaten!!! I read previous reviews and here's how I adjusted mine. Baked at 325 for 13-14 minutes, no burning. Instead of maragine I added an additional 1/2 cup of butter and 1/2 cup of peanut butter. Next time I may change to add a little more peanut butter, because I like the taste of peanut butter, it was not overpowering though. Since I made this for bake sale I used red and blue M&M's for the candy. I also sprinkled red, white and blue sprinkles on top before baking. They looked so festive. BEWARE this recipe makes a ton of cookies I ended up with like 9 dozen, you may want to half the recipe.

These were very good, and a great cookie for when you can't make up your mind between chocolate chip and "candy coated chocolate" cookies. I used all butter and the first batch burned on the bottom. I reduced the oven temperature to 325 degrees and the following batches were perfect.

My husband came home from work raving about Monster cookies that another wife sent in. So, I figured I needed to try them. They are pretty good and easy to make. A really nice change from plain chocolate chip cookies. They are huge though.

I have made this recipe several times altering different aspects each time and to me this is the best cookie recipe ever. The changes I made were 1 1/2 cups of peanut butter instead of 1 cup butter, 3 cups flour and 5 cups oatmeal, not 4 and 4, 4 teaspoons of vanila instead of 2, 3/4 cup of the candy not 1 cup and add 1/2 cup chopped walnuts. Also these cookies bake up best when they are large. I roll the cookie dough into a ball slightly larger than a golf ball. If you try to make smaller cookies you end up with a lot of the candy and chocolate chips on the outside of the cookie not baked inside. I always make the full recipe and freeze most of them. These are delicious fresh but tend to stale quickly. I freeze any cookies that won't be eaten in 3-4 days. They defrost quickly and taste as though they were baked that day

"I made these today for Valentine's day for my Sunday school class and my own kids. I used 3 cups of holiday candy pieces and 1 cup of chocolate chips. Like the preceeding review, I didn't use margarine, I used 1/2 cup butter and 1/2 cup peanut butter instead. Shaped into 2 inch balls or larger, and placed a giant craft stick in the center of the balls. I than flattened slightly with a fork. I did bake them for 14 minutes, because I think everyones ovens are different. After cookies are cooled wrap in holiday goodie bags. These were the best monster cookies ever. Thanks they were a big hit!"
