Monster Cookies 3 eggs 1 cup sugar 1½ cups peanut butter (crunchy) 1 cup M&M’s 4½ cups oatmeal
1 cup chocolate chips 2 teaspoons soda ½ cup butter 1 cup brown sugar ¾ teaspoon vanilla
Mix all ingredients together with mixer. Drop by spoonfuls on cookie sheets. Bake at 350 degrees. Bake only 10 minutes. Do not over bake! They will cook some while they cool. Jenny Day, Central Alabama EC
Nanny’s Tea Cakes 2 sticks oleo 4 eggs 2 cups sugar
1 teaspoon baking powder 3 cups self-rising flour 1 teaspoon vanilla
Mix all ingredients together. Spoon onto cookie sheet. Use a teaspoonful spaced several inches apart. Bake at 300 degrees for about 10 to 15 minutes. I cook mine on wax paper. Watch to see how you like them: Light colored means they are soft and brown means they are hard and crispy. Mary Adams, South Alabama EC
