Monster Cookies

I have a peanut allergy. It is not a picnic to eat at restaurants with me. But I rather ask questions than end up in the ER with a a swollen tongue and not breathing. So, when someone gave me a monster cookie, I was happy. But then I saw that there was peanut butter and Peanut M&Ms in the cookie, I had to give the cookie away. My friend was mad at me, but she was cool with it after I told her why.

I set out to make my own monster cookies and I will share the recipe with you.

• 3/4 cup butter, softened

• 3/4 cup white sugar

• 3/4 cup packed light brown sugar

• 1 teaspoon baking soda(or 3 teaspoons baking powder)

• 3/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon

• 1/2 teaspoon salt(only if you used baking soda)

• 2 3/4 cups rolled oats

• 1 cup raisins
