Monster Cookies

So I love to bake.  I know it’s strange since I am not a big fan of the whole cooking thing, but baking is the shit.  I have thing for cookies, cupcakes and anything along the lines of dessert.  I am thinking about getting more things so I can do more.  I am itching to do cheesecake.  If anyone wants to send me spring form pans, I would not be opposed to making cheese cakes for you.

Tonight I made some awesome cookies, called Monster Cookies.  Really, they are oatmeal peanut butter chocolate chip cookies with m&m’s added.

Recipe:

1 pouch – chocolate chip cookie mix ( 1 lb, 1.5 oz )

1 pouch – peanut butter cookie mix ( 1 lb, 1.5 oz )

1 1/2 cups of quick cooking oats

1 cup of butter (two sticks)

3 eggs

(optional) 2 cups of M&M like candy

directions:

  • Heat your oven to 375 degrees
  • Mix everything but the candy together in a bowl until you have a soft dough.  Add the candies, if you are planning to use them, at this point.  (I used mini M&M’s and less then 2 cups.)
  • Place 1/4 cupfuls of dough on your ungreased cookie sheets.  They should be about 2 to 3 inches apart so they don’t try and combine.
  • Cook them for 10 to 12 minutes.  Watch the edges, they will darken quickly and if you cook them for too long the bottoms will burn.
  • Let them cool, store in a covered container and enjoy.

This recipe makes over 5 dozen cookies for me when I make it.
