Cookie Monsters

2 c. quick oats
1 ½ c. flour
1 t. baking soda
1 t. baking powder
¼ t. salt
Mix in 2nd bowl:
1 c. brown sugar
1 c. sugar
2 eggs
1 c. peanut butter
1 c. butter
1 t. vanilla
additional:
1 bag semisweet chocolate chips, ½ bag semisweet chocolate chunks

Preheat oven to 350. Add dry ingredients to wet a little at a time. When completely combined, stir in chocolate chips and chunks. Drop by heaping Tablespoons onto ungreased cookie sheet. These are large so leave room to spread. Bake at 350 for 10-12 minutes or until golden brown. Makes about 3 dozen large cookies or 5 dozen small.
