I am sorry, but I am so done with cookies.
I didn't mind baking all of the cookies, but writing the posts and recipes...UGH. I feel like all my creativity is tapped!
Thank goodness we move on to dips and party foods next Sunday.
Today, I bring you the final cookie in my 12 Cookies of Christmas series.
Out of all the cookies I have made in the past few weeks, Monster Cookies are my four year-old's favorite. I don't know if it is because of the chocolate chips, M&Ms, or peanut butter in the recipe; he might just like them because they are called "Monster Cookies."
Many people who lived in my small town have a Monster Cookie recipe. I'm not sure why they are called Monster Cookies, but it could be because of the size of the recipe. It originally calls for 4 times more of eatch ingredient. I minimized the recipe, making it more manageable to make in a mixing bowl.
I mixed butter and sugars in my Kitchen Aid first.
Then, I added eggs and vanilla.
Then, I added peanut butter.
I used to make my own peanut butter in my Vitamix,
so I have to buy the natural kind.
PB with hydrogenated fats is pretty nasty to me.
After I mixed the peanut butter in, I added eggs.
Then, I incorporated the oatmeal and baking soda.
Finally, I added chocolate chips and M&Ms.
I used my cookie scoop to drop the cookies
on my baking sheet.
