Monster Cookies Beware!

This post should be titled, “Out of Sight, Out of Mind!” or “Hiding Cookies in Your Freezer is a Good Idea!” Or better yet, “When Cookies Are in My Freezer, I Don’t Remember They’re There!” Only I’d be lying to myself.

I bake cookies and put them in little ziploc baggies and place them in the freezer for instant munching for the boys in my house. I tell myself that since they’re in the freezer, they’re totally safe. Safe from ME. Safe from my strong desire to eat something sweet at a certain time of day.

That little trick seems to work at first, until my cravings turn mad and uncontrollable.  I try to tell myself that frozen cookies aren’t any good.  But guess what?  They’re good.  They’re actually better than un-frozen cookies.

And so it goes that these Monster Cookies are dangerous.  They’re dangerous to have around because you’ll want to gobble far too many of them!

Monster cookies aren’t anything new.  They’ve been around a very long time, and this recipe was tucked into my collection sometime way back in my pre-teen years.

Someone… somewhere made them up- Betty Crocker, I’m guessing.  They are indeed a cookie recipe worth keeping around for decades.

Monster Cookies are basically a peanut butter- oatmeal cookie with chocolate chips and M&M candies mixed in.  There is no flour at all in the recipe!

I dot extra M&M’s and chocolate chips on top of each blob of cookie dough on the baking sheet.  This ensures that they will be extra pretty when they are all baked up and ready to eat.

Sometimes I bake GIANT Monster Cookies (using an ice cream scoop to dole out the dough). If you go the giant route, you’ll end up with 22 fabulously large cookies.  If you’d like to make a normal-sized cookie, you’ll get 36 cookies.

Bake some Monster Cookies today, and keep them in the freezer… where they’ll be safe!

If you’re looking for more recipes using M&M’s, you might like to try my M&M Pretzel Blondies or these Super Soft Peanut Butter- M&M Cookies.  No Bake Monster Cookie Bars, M&M Shortbread Cookies and Kit Kat Cake are good recipes to try too!
