This is for Nell VA, who in the 7/22/10 newsletter was looking for a recipe of a cookie that she had recently had. This may be close to what she ate; it does not contain corn syrup, but has the other ingredients that she listed.

Chocolate Chip Oatmeal Peanut Butter Cookies with M&Ms

1 cup brown sugar
1/4 cup butter
1/3 cup evaporated milk
1/4 cup peanut butter
1 cup quick rolled oats
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/2 cup chopped salted peanuts
1/2 cup chocolate chips1/2 cup M and Ms

1. In a saucepan, cook the brown sugar, evaporated milk, and butter to a heavy saucepan. Cook over medium heat, stirring continually, until the mixture comes to boil. Cook for one minute longer.

2. Remove from heat, stir in peanut butter, quick oats, and vanilla. Let cool until just warm to the touch then stir in the peanuts and chocolate chips,

stirring just until the chips and peanuts are dispersed.

3. Drop the cookies by the spoonful onto a nonstick baking sheet or waxed paper. Cool completely in the refrigerator.

Baker’s note: If you stir the chocolate chips and M & Ms in before the mixture sufficiently cools, they will melt. That’s not bad but you will have chocolate cookies

instead of chocolate chip cookies with M & Ms. I have used regular milk instead of evaporated.
