Mouthwatering Monster Cookies

Ingredients
1 stick of margerine, softened
1 cup plus 2 Tbsp. brown sugar
1 cup granulated sugar
3 eggs
3/4 tsp. light corn syrup
1/4 tsp. salt
1/4 tsp. vanilla
2 tsp. baking soda
1 cup chocolate chips
2 cups peanut butter
4 1/2 cups old fashioned oats
1 cup M&Ms

Instructions
Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Lightly grease cookie sheets. In a large bowl, cream together the butter and both sugars with an electric mixer set on medium-high for 30 seconds. Add eggs, peanut butter, corn syrup, and vanilla. Beat well. Add oats, baking soda, and salt. Stir well. Stir in remaining ingredients (dough will be stiff). Pack dough into 1/4 cup measure. Drop 4 inches apart onto chookie sheets. Lightly press each cookie into 3 1/2" circle. Bake for 12-15 minutes (center of cookies will be slightly soft). Let set for 1 minute and then transfer cookies to a cooking surface.

Taylor's Notes: I found 13 minutes to be the ideal baking time. I only used 3/4 cup of M&M's and 3/4 cup of chocolate chips. Jon isn't big on chocolate (I KNOW...the horror!) so that was the only way to avoid having to eat them all myself! :)
