Triple Treat Cookies (an Amish version of Monster Cookies)

Recipe given to me by: Roseann Hilty

Here's what you need:

• 1 cup white sugar
• 1 cup brown sugar
• 1 cup Crisco (or you can use 1 cup softened butter)
• 1 cup peanut butter
• 2 large eggs
• 1/2 cup walnuts, chopped (or nut of choice)
• 3/4 cup all-purpose flour
• 2 tsp. baking soda, dissolved in 1/2 Tbsp. HOT water
• 1/2 tsp. salt
• 1 3/4 cups quick oats
• 1/2 cup vanilla instant pudding mix, dry
• 1 cup chocolate chips
• 1/2 cup mini M&M's (optional, but recommended!)

Preheat your oven to 350 degrees.

Mix together your sugar, brown sugar, Crisco (or butter), and peanut butter until smooth and well combined. 

Now add the eggs and mix to incorporate well. With the mixer running, add the remaining 8 ingredients mixing well between each addition. 

Drop by spoonful onto a parchment lined baking sheet. Bake for 14-18 minutes depending on your desired level of doneness. Enjoy!
