How this recipe came to be...

No recipe book is complete without mind boggling fat laden sugar bombs so I have included the last word in chocolate megaton intergalactic ballistics. This cookie has chocolate in it. If this cookie were a weapon, just one would wipe out the entire population of weight watchers in North America. Beware! Serious chocoholics have accidentally eaten one of these things thinking that they were protected by their built up resistance, and have ended up wandering around in a blind, drooling stupor for days afterwards. The cookie is named after the Loch Ness Monster for two reasons. First, they can be made "VERY LARGE". The larger, the better. Second, there is an entire Reese's Peanut Butter Cup in each cookie but no one is ever able to actually spot it and prove that its there.

Ingredients

2-1/4 cups flour
1/3 cup cocoa
1 tsp soda
1/2 tsp salt
1 cup margarine
3/4 cup chunky peanut butter
3/4 cup brown sugar
3/4 cup white sugar
1 tsp vanilla
2 eggs
10 regular size Reese's Peanut Butter Cups (approx 1 oz each)
6 oz semi sweet chocolate chips
3 oz chopped walnuts or pecans

What to do...

Combine the flour, cocoa, soda, salt and set aside. In a large mixing bowl, preferably under a powered mixer, on medium speed, beat the margarine, peanut butter, both sugars and vanilla for 3 minutes or until light and fluffy. Add eggs one at a time and continue beating. Put the mixer on slow speed and gradually add the flour mixture. When done, turn off the mixer. Cut up the Reese's Peanut Butter Cups into small pieces. They will melt and seemingly disappear during the baking process. By hand mixing add the peanut butter cups, chocolate chips and nuts to the dough. Pre-heat the oven to 350 and drop the cookies onto an un-greased cookie sheet, bake for 13 to 15 minutes. They go down on the sheet as a huge glob and only spread a little. Make these as big or small as you like. I usually get about 18 cookies out of this batch. Most people can get about thirty.

Special Serving Instuctions...

The best way to serve these is wrapped in a piece of paper that has been personalized. I usually put critical information on the paper and then make the recipient sign his name in large block letters with a red magic marker. Example: "My name is ERIC of the FLAMING HAIR, If found wandering aimlessly and incoherent but not perceivably drunk on alcohol, return me to the Inn of the Gilded Serpent Chocoholic Treatment Center. PLEASE!! "
