Monster Cookies (flourless)

1 1/4 c. firmly packed brown sugar
1 c. sugar
3/4 c. shortening
3 eggs
1 1/2 c. peanut butter (crunchy or creamy)
1 tbsp. corn syrup (optional but good to include if you have it on hand)
2 tsp baking soda
1 tsp vanilla
4 1/2 oats
1 bag of choc chips or something

Bake at 350 for 11-13 minutes on a greased cookie sheet.

The chocolate chips can be replaced by any combination of chips and dried fruit. We liked dark chocolate chips with dried cherries, and another variation with dried apricots. My most recent batch had butterscotch chips. I also like the Sunmaid "tropical trio" dried fruit in it.

I think they're called "monster cookies" because this recipe makes a monster batch, probably about forty cookies.
