mixed and baked exactly as directed. cookies spread a bit to much. next time I cut back brwn sug by 1/2 cup, backed off pb by 1/2 cup. added 1/2 C flour and baked 13 minutes perfect!

I don't know if it was something that I did, but these cookies spread so much that I couldn't get them off of the cookie sheet. I tried baking them longer but they turned out like pancakes. But, I have to say the cooked edges of the cookie were delicious. I finally added about 1 1/2 cups of flour to the remaining dough and the last half turned out much more edible. I will make this recipe again, but next time I'll add some flour.

This is a great cookie!!! I cut the recipe in half and got about 50 cookies using my 1/8 measuring cup to mold the cookies into the same size. I used Old fashioned oats and Marantha Natural Peanut Butter which is the best IMHO (doesn't have any added sugar). I didn't have M&M's so I did a mixture of 1 cup chocolate chips and 1/2 cup raisins. I also added 1/2 cup unsweentened coconut with the 1/2 cup crushed peanuts. I read all the reviews and no one seemed to talk about how sweet the cookie was but next time I'll try to cut the sugar a little. I definately needed some milk to cut the sweetness. It may be my oven (I'm in a foreign country that doesn't do a whole lot of baking) so at the max time, my cookies were still a bit on the gooey side. I cooked mine at 20 mins and they are crispy, chewy, and perfect!!!

I substituted milk chocolate chips and substituted dried cherry flavored cranberries for the peanuts.

These cookies were delicious and fairly easy to make. I used my handy, dandy cookie dropper instead of rolling them into balls.

I ran out of oats so used 6 cups oats and 2-1/2 cups flour. Also added 7 oz bag of coconut and used 3 cups M&M's, no other chocolate or nuts. I made mine 5-6 inches in diameter. Rolled into a 2-3 inch ball and did not flatten them. GREAT!

I have made these a few times and have not reviewed them until now. I usually cut the recipe in half and still have tons of cookies. Quick and easy! I let the KitchenAid do the mixing and these are a breeze. I have made these with butter and also have used butter flavored crisco. I like the texture of the cookies better using the butter flavored crisco, but very good cookies either way. Thanks for the recipe!

OMG! This recipe rocks! Crispy outside and chewy inside. We went with the full 12 minutes for extra crunch. Perfect match for making our 4th of July ice cream sandwich cookies.

This is a terrific recipe, however the first dozen turned out flat for some reason. So I added one cup of four and one teaspoon of baking powder. This fluffed them up and stopped them from running all over :)

I cut the recipe in half, and they turned out delicious!! Hubby agrees : )

Maybe it was just user error, but I found the cookie dough to be a little too soupy, and it took 15 minutes to bake, not 10-12

Very good but I felt they needed salt. I added about 2 tsp. salt to the 1/2 batch I made.

This is the best monster cookie recipe, I tried several but this one is chewy, peanut buttery and moist. My husband is in the AF and he took a batch of these in to his night shift guys during Christmastime, I had to make a double batch days later as they had eaten them all and were demanding more. The oats filled them up and sustained them for their physical job. I made a few changes, I didnt use peanuts or the M&Ms and chocolate chips. Instead I used mini chips and mini M&Ms, I just prefer how they disperse through the cookie. Next time I make them I will try some coconut for extra chewy goodness. Thanks for the recipe!

I love these cookies!! I did make a couple of changes though. I only had 2 cups of peanut butter, so I added and extra 1/2 cup butter. I added 1 1/4 cups flour and 1 tsp salt. I did not have any peanuts, so I left them out. I put them on the cookie sheet in large scoops (ice cream scoop size) and baked them about 11 minutes. They were very good and soft and light! Thanks for the recipe! ps the dough was so good!!!

These were good but I scaled them down quite a bit. I've made monster cookies before, but used to them spreading out more. Used chunky peanut butter & omited the peanuts.

This is a great recipe for monster cookies! I took another readers suggestion and used crunchy peanut butter instead of peanut butter and peanuts. They turned out great!

I just made these cookies and HOLY ! it makes a TON of cookies I had to make it in my moms crock-pot but they are really good! i used white chocolate chips instead cuz thats all i had turned out great! will make them again but..cut the recipe in half
