Monster Cookies

What is more fun after school than a hot monster cookie!  Ok, so I didn't give my kids cookies before dinner, but as a child I sure did dream of that happening.  I found this recipe and loved the variety that was used to make these.  Oatmeal, rice krispies, chocolate chips, Reese's mini peanut butter chips, M&M's, how could these cookies go wrong.  I made these for a backyard movie night at our house a couple of weeks ago, and they were gone as soon as they came out of the oven.  Use your imagination and add your owe twist to this recipe to make it special.  I hope you enjoy these as much as we did!
