1/4 cup margarine, softened (Parkay)
1/4 cup shortening (Crisco)
3 eggs
2 to 3 tablespoons Karo (white) syrup
1 teaspoon vanilla
3 to 4 cups oatmeal
1 cup Crunchy or Creamy Skippy Peanut butter  ***
1/2 cup white sugar
1/2 cup brown sugar
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 one pound bag of M&Ms
1 cup coconut (optional — this will moisten the dough)
1 to 2 cups raisins (optional)
Cream shortening and margarine.  Add sugars.  Mix until well blended.  Add eggs.  Mix until light and fluffy.  Add peanut butter. Mix well.  Add soda and vanilla, Mix again.  Add Karo syrup.  Mix in oatmeal, M&Ms, raisins, coconut, (and any other remaining ingredients) and mix well.
Using a large spoon, scoop up big batch of dough, drop onth an ungreased cookie sheet and flatten to an approximate size and shape of a good sized hamburger or whopper.  Make sure you shape well so that the edges are firm and well patted together.  Dough will be sticky and clingy.
Bake for 8 to 12 minutes at 350 degrees …. should be taken out of oven while still puffy and almost ready to fall.
**Hints:  the less oily the peanut butter, the firmer the cookie.  The more Karo syrup added, the better the cookies will hold together.
**Be careful when removing from cookie sheets.   Cookies are very fragile and will break easily!  You will need to use a BIG spatula to take these off of your cookie sheet.
Enjoy!    Also note, if you do not like some of the above ingredients, you can substitute them with something else!
