With all the cookies I’ve made over the years each of my family has their favorites. Some love good ol’ chocolate chip. I love my Snickerdoodles and my husband a huge of oatmeal raisin. My Monster Cookies pleases us all and the kids totally love to help make them. I have them each add in their favorite ingredient (they all fight over the mini M&M’s) and they each get a turn stirring.
The recipe makes for a lot of cookies so we’ll usually pick a neighbor or friend to deliver some too.
This the type of cookies that no one can resist!
Especially the kids!
I also like to double the recipe, freeze half and then have cookie dough on hand whenever I need it…or want it!
