Holiday Cookie #4: Monster Cookies

October 14, 2014 By Naomi Robinson | Bakers Royale 19 Comments

You are going to love these bakery-style Monster Cookies. They’re huge, chewy and with have that buttery crispy edge and exterior. Everyone in my home loves the sweet and salty combo of the pretzels and against the M&Ms, of course I had to throw in chocolate chips for some extra chocolate in every bite.

These is also a cookie that ships well, so it made the cut for the holiday cookie line-up.

Along with that I feel like monster cookies are the precursor to the ever popular compost cookies. That said, if you have bags of little bits and pieces that need to be used up—throw them in!  I’ve made this recipe with coconut, pecans and chopped up candy like Snickers, Rolos, and others. Although you have to keep the M&Ms and pretzels, that’s the Monster cookie base. That is according my boys and me. But get creative and have fun. This cookie is highly adaptable.

    I love a cookie that can hold a ton of add-ins, and this one looks amazing too! This will be the perfect thing to make after Halloween, when I know I’ll have tons of excess candy. Awesome recipe!

They grumpily ate this. I feel no guilt. I’m pretty sure they know how to pour themselves a bowl of cereal, if they’re still hungry.
