So, I wanna start another project. I know that much. But, it’s a huge undertaking, especially with a 3 1/2 month old at home. So, alas, for now, I’ll stick to just some random recipes on random days when I get the chance to bake. Some will be new (for me). Others, like these Monster Cookies from Paula Deen/Food Network, are not new. At all.
These have actually become one of my go-to cookie recipes. They’re tasty, they’re SUPER easy to make and everyone loves them! In fact, I’ve made these with my nieces who are 3 and 5, cause they’re so easy AND they have M&M’s (or num-nums, as they call them), so it’s a win-win.
(PS I’d love to try out your “go-to” recipes too! What are they?! Leave me a comment or shoot me a note.)
They can be made as large or as small as you want. I used my cookie scooper (like an ice cream scoop, but smaller…for cookies). My husband thinks this is a crime, because cookies should be large. So, the choice is yours. I will say, though, that mine took about 13 minutes to bake, not the 8-10 that the recipe calls for. So just keep an eye. They should be “set” but not firm.
The other great thing about these is that they are “mixer optional”. In the video, Paula Deen makes them with just a bowl and a wooden spoon. I used my stand mixer, just cause it’s so easy to do. But, either way…yum!
