Expert Tips

Cookie monsters of all ages love this recipe. Moms like the big batch, perfect for bake sales, scout meetings and parties.

These giant oatmeal cookies are based on quick-cooking rolled oats, not flour. Remember this recipe when it's time to bake for a friend who cannot eat wheat.

Try candy-coated peanut butter candies, dried cherries or cranberries, walnuts or pecans, and butterscotch, peanut butter or white chocolate chips.

AWFUL! The recipe as written is just not very good. You need to add at least a teaspoon of vanilla and at least 1.5 cups of peanut butter to have these cookies turn out. If you don't they are flat, tasteless and they fall apart.

These are the best monster cookies ever! This is the only recipe I will use; of course I add Reese's Pieces, chunky peanut butter and peanut m&m's and leave out the peanuts and raisins. I get so many compliments on these also!
