Peanut Butter Jumbos

Anyone that is a fan of peanut butter should try these!  They are SO good.  Interesting enough, this recipe doesn't call for flour.  They are definitely worth a try.  Have a BIG glass of milk on hand as well.

1 1/2 c. peanut butter

1/2 cup butter, softened

1 cup sugar

1 cup packed brown sugar

3 eggs

1 tsp. vanilla extract

4 1/2 cups quick cooking oats

2 tsps. baking soda

1 cup  miniature semisweet chocolate chips

1 cup M&M's miniature baking bits

In a large mixing bowl, cream peanut butter, butter and sugars.  Add eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition.  Beat in vanilla.  Combine oats and baking soda; gradually add to creamed mixture.  Stir in chocolate chips and baking bits.

Drop by heaping tablespoonfuls 2 in. apart onto ungreased baking sheets.  Bake at 350 for 12-14 minutes or until edges are browned.  Remove to wire racks.  Yield: 9 dozen.

Note: Reduced-fat or generic brands of peanut butter are not recommended for this recipe.
