Monster cookies, a recipe big enough to feed a very large group.
Original recipe makes 12 dozen
Ingredients
2 cups shortening
2 cups butter, softened
4 cups white sugar
4 cups packed light brown sugar
9 eggs
4 teaspoons vanilla extract
8 cups all-purpose flour
4 teaspoons baking powder
4 teaspoons baking soda
8 cups rolled oats
2 cups chopped pecans
2 cups shredded coconut
2 cups semisweet chocolate chips
2 cups candy-coated milk chocolate pieces
Directions
- In a very large mixing bowl, cream together the shortening, the butter or margarine, the sugars, the eggs, and the vanilla.
- Add to the mixing bowl the flour, the leavenings, the oats, the nuts, the coconut, the chocolate chips, and the M & M candies.
- Drop dough by spoonfuls onto ungreased cookie sheets. To make extra large cookies, drop by ice cream scoopfuls.
- Bake at 350 degrees F (175 degrees C) for 10 to 12 minutes, longer for large cookies. Remove, and cool on wire racks.
