For months now, I’ve been promising my sister that I’d make some Monster Cookies. When I finally do, it’s during the month of December when red and green m&m’s are most common. I think any sort of cookie baking goes hand in hand with the holidays so technically these are festive Monster Cookies. These cookies get their name from the amount of add ins you can mix into the peanut butter base. You can practically add whatever you want and much more, but I stuck to the basics (oats, chocolate chips and m&m’s). What I like most about this recipe is that there’s no flour, so it produces a chewy than crispy cookie. I prefer my cookies on the softer side so that’s a thumbs up in my book.
I hope you all have a lovely day! Merry Christmas Eve!
