"In honor of Valentine's Day, I present the "Jealousy Cookie", or the "Horny Toad Cookie". The more kid-friendly name because this is, after all, a monster cookie with only green M&M's, and everyone knows that the Green Eyed Monster is Jealousy; the black sheep relative of Love. The not-so-kid-friendly name is because most everyone is aware that green M&M's, *ahem*...increase romantic inclinations..."

ingredients

3 eggs
1 cup packed brown sugar
1 cup white sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla
2 teaspoons baking soda
¹⁄₂ cup butter, softened
1 cup crunchy peanut butter
1 cup no-sugar-added applesauce
4 ¹⁄₂ cups quick oats
12 ounces plain M&M's (green ( measurement is apprx.)
¹⁄₂ cup butterscotch chips
1 cup rough chopped walnuts

directions

Mix the ingredients in the order given. This is easy to do by hand and you don't need a mixer.
The M&M's, chips, and nuts can vary to your preference and only need a stir by hand to incorporate them. Don't let them get mashed by your mixer.
Drop by the spoonful onto a cookie sheet.
Bake at 350* for 12-15 minutes.
Also, you can do these as bar cookies and they are FABULOUS. Spray 9x13 pan with oil, dump the dough in (I used about 3/4 of the recipe) and mash it to an even consistency. Bake for 35-45 minutes at 350*.
