Monster Cookies Recipe

3 eggs
1 cup packed dark brown sugar
1 cup granulated sugar
¾ teaspoon vanilla extract
¾ teaspoon light corn syrup
2 teaspoons baking soda
½ cup (1 stick) butter, softened
1¼ cups peanut butter (12 ounces)
4½ cups old-fashioned oats
2/3 cup semisweet chocolate chips
2/3 cup raisins or M&Ms

1. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Lightly grease two baking sheets.
2. Combine the eggs, sugars, vanilla, corn syrup, baking soda, and butter in a large bowl; beat with a mixer at medium-high speed until smooth. Add the peanut butter and beat until well blended. Stir in the remaining ingredients until well blended.
3. Using a ½-cup measure or ice cream scoop, place 2 scoops of the dough onto each cookie sheet. Flatten each to a 4-inch round, ½ -inch-thick cookie.
4. Bake 12 minutes. Remove from the oven and place the baking sheets on a wire rack for 4 minutes. Remove the cookies. Repeat with the remaining dough.
