These were always a favorite when we were growing up! This is my Mom's recipe and I'm sure you could make all kids of substitutions to customize it to your own likes.
Substitution Ideas:
*butter = coconut oil
*vanilla = almond or maple extract
*corn syrup = pure maple syrup
*peanut butter = almond butter, cashew butter
*chocolate chips and/or M&Ms =
-dark chocolate, white chocolate or butterscotch chips, chocolate covered or yogurt covered raisins
-raisins, dried cranberries, dried currants, dried cherries, dried blueberries
-walnuts, peanuts, almonds, cashews, chai seeds {maybe 1/4 of the original measurement}, sunflower seeds
The full batch makes a ton of cookies; you could form the dough and freeze them until ready to bake or bake the cookies and freeze them for enjoyment later. Or if you have a family of cookie lovers or an event where you need a lot of cookies enjoy all at once.
