Paula Deen Monster Cookies

1/4 cup raisins, optional
1/2 cup chocolate chips
1/2 cup multi-colored chocolate candies
1 stick butter, softened
1 12-ounce jar creamy peanut butter
1/2 tsp. vanilla
1/2 tsp. salt
1 cup sugar
1 1/4 cup packed light brown sugar
3 eggs
2 tsp baking soda
4 1/2 cup quick-cooking oats

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees.  Line cookie sheets with parchment paper or nonstick baking mats.

In a very large mixing bowl, combine the eggs and sugars.  Mix well.  Add the salt, vanilla, peanut butter, and butter.  Mix well.  Stir in the chocolate candies, chocolate chips, raisins, baking soda, and oatmeal.  Drop by tablespoons 2 inches apart on to the prepared cookie sheets.

Bake for 8-10 minutes.  Do not overbake.  Let stand for about 3 minutes before transferring to wire racks to cool.  When cool, store in large resealable plastic bags.


Note:  I made these cookies around Christmas and they got rave reviews from everyone that had one!
