Monster Cookies
These Monster Cookies will be a smashing success for any holiday gathering you have coming up. Monster cookies are easily my favorite type of cookie, and this recipe is delicious. Peanut butter brings a lot of flavor to any sweet treat and these are no different.
I try to use a peanut butter with no unnecessary junk. Some of my favorite brands include Santa Cruz and Maranatha. I always use creamy peanut butter, but if you are looking for a crunchier texture, you can use crunchy peanut butter. I love to use the UNREAL Dark Chocolate Quinoa Gems, but you can use M&Ms if you prefer.
Enjoy!
