Expert Tips

For cookies with a less-monstrous size but the same big taste, drop dough by rounded tablespoonfuls and flatten slightly. Bake 8 to 10 minutes.

Purchase shortening formed in oblong packages marked for easy cutting and measuring. It eliminates messy measuring in cups.

I stumbled upon this recipe - VERY GOOD!!! I modified it just a little.... I used 1 cup of butter (instead of 1/2 c. butter and 1/2 c. shortening). I also used 1 c. M&M's and 2 c. dark choc. chips. I omitted the peanuts and raisins. This recipe is a "keeper"!

These cookies are great! My husband loves them! The only changes I made was instead of peanut butter and peanuts, I just used crunchy peanut butter. I also didn't use the shortening, and the cookies still are fantastic!!
