I made Monster Cookies this afternoon. I found a recipe for them at Bake or Break, which differed slightly from the one I had been previously using (which I honestly wasn’t all that pleased with). My eyes will never wander again, looking for a better recipe, as these came out ridiculously delicious. I remember my aunt Phyllis making Monster cookies when I was a kid and LOVING them. I always wondered why my mom never made them but, as I was mixing the dough this afternoon, I think I figured out the reason. My mom realized, in her motherly wisdom, that I could not be controlled around these cookies. Well, look at them! Unless you are stricken with a peanut allergy (my condolences…), what would ever keep you back from those?! (Stop licking the screen, Jenn – that’s gross) Which is why the only time I make these is when I am getting them out of my house and into other people’s stomachs as soon as possible. Though I never can make a batch without having at least one (okay, okay… four).
