Cooking With Kids: Monster Cookies!

Monster cookies are one of my son’s favorite cookies, and he loves to help make them. He does the measuring, and pouring, and I do the mixing. We make a pretty good cookie making team.

One of my favorite things about Monster Cookies is all the flavors you can get in one bite. You put everything in them but the kitchen sink!

Here’s my favorite recipe for Monster Cookies:

3 eggs

1 stick of butter

2 1/2 cups brown sugar

1 cup white sugar

1 1/2 cup crunchy peanut butter

4 1/2 cups oatmeal

2 teaspoons of baking soda

1 cup chocolate chips

1 cup m & m candies

1 tablespoon vanilla

Preheat the oven to 350.` Cream the butter, brown sugar, and white sugar together. Then add the eggs and the rest of the ingredients, add the oatmeal last, one cup at a time. Drop the cookies on an ungreased cookie sheet by teaspoon. These cookies grow quite a bit when you bake them. Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until they’re just starting to brown.

Enjoy!
