Monster Cookies

My Mom, Brother and I made a trip over to WI to see my Uncle and cousins in a play. I was very excited to go because that meant we could stop at Weavers. Weavers is right on the way to my uncles and is a little amish shop they sell everything in bulk most items are at a pretty good price. I normally stock up on pasta here, but this time I wanted to try a few other things. One of the items I bought were Cookie Mix-ins. It had chocolate chips, white chocolate chips, M & M’s, peanut butter chips, and mini chips.

I knew I wanted to make some Monster Cookies, but wasn’t sure the recipe I wanted to use. I posted on The Nest today, for the best chocolate chip cookie recipe, and this was one of the posts. I only made 4 cookies tonight for Adam and I and made the rest into balls for froze so when we want a cookie we can just bake up some fresh ones.

These were really good, and will hit the spot next time I am craving a fresh cookie :)

Chocolate Chip Cookies (From: Cate’s Kitchen)

  • 7 ounces butter butter, softened (1 and 3/4 sticks)
  • 2/3 cup brown sugar
  • 1/2 cup white sugar
  • 1 egg’
  • 2 tsp pure vanilla extract
  • 2 cups unbleached all purpose flour
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1/2 tsp baking soda
  • 1 12 oz bag semisweet chocolate chips (I used the mixture)
Preheat oven to 350
Cream the butter and add sugar, beating until well-mixed.  Add the egg and vanilla, and mix for about 30 seconds.  
In a separate bowl, stir together the flour, salt, and baking soda with a fork.  Add to the butter mixture and stir gently until flour just disappears.  Add chocolate chips and stir until evenly distributed.
Drop by rounded tablespoonfuls onto parchment or Silpat-lined cookie sheets and bake 8-10 minutes, until just beginning to brown on the edges.

    What great timing! I was just thinking in the store last night how much I used to love cookies with M&Ms in them!
