Chewy and crisp, the best monster cookie recipe is loaded with all of our favorite cookie flavors.
Does anyone not have this cookie recipe from their grandmother? And doesn’t everyone think their recipe is the best? Oats, peanut butter, chocolate chips, M&Ms, and a drop of maple syrup all combine to make my grandmother’s Monster Cookies.
My friend Augusta and I compared our recipes years ago and laughed when they were almost identical.
Side note: We then proceeded to make and eat almost an entire batch on our own, we probably consumed half of it as raw cookie dough – yeah, these cookies are that good.
I grew up thinking that Monster cookies were exclusive to my own family and in the past 10-15 years, I’ve seen these all over the internet.
If you haven’t tasted them before, you are missing out on one of the best cookies ever.
I only make these cookies a few times a year, because I absolutely cannot eat just one (or two or three). I’ve been known to polish off so many I went to bed nauseous. (How’s that for a selling point? ha)
These cookies stay beautifully chewy when frozen. If you’re like me and like to stash cookies in the freezer for late-night cravings, this is the ultimate freezer cookie. As a result, that makes this the PERFECT cookie for ice cream sandwich making.
My brother Karl shares my weakness for these cookies and that’s all the excuse I need to make these every time he visits. And for a serious treat? You’re going to want to make these Monster Cookie Ice Cream Sandwiches.
