The little "Muffin" I babysit made
monster cookies with me the other day. We had a good time. She loves to bake, cook and be in the kitchen. I loved it when she tried to stir the M&M's into the mixture. Her little arm couldn't even move the spoon. :)
We took two plates of cookies along with homemade cards to some of our local community service men and women. The county jail sheriff and deputies and the firefighters were glad recipients. We have been intentionally thinking of ways to give gifts to others--whether it be gifts of baked goods, candy canes, cards, time, etc. I'm thankful for the opportunity to be with my kids and do fun things like this!
Monster cookies are GREAT because it makes a BIG batch, they are yummy, and they freeze well. The only downside is that you spend hours switching cookie sheets in and out of the oven.
Enjoy!
I'll let you in on a secret...you can bake monster cookies in bar form. Press them into a pan about 1/2 inch thick. Bake until they begin to brown. You can also bake as many as you want and freeze the rest of the dough in batches for later. Because the recipe does make A LOT of cookies, especially if you make them regular-cookie sized.
