If you have never made monster cookies then you are in for a real treat with this Monster Cookie recipe. Cookies with a glass of milk are like the staple of desserts when it comes to being a kid. These monster cookies are the ultimate cookie to enjoy with a glass of milk.
I am not really sure where the recipe comes from, in fact I don’t even know where I got the original recipe that I use because I found this recipe written down on a piece of paper in a box from when Tom and I first got married. It has been a favorite of ours for years and they end up being gobbled up quickly in our house.

Variations of this Recipe
For this recipe I used M&Ms and chocolate chips however you can totally change up the candy to what you have on hand.
Chocolate Bars. Candies like Milky way, Kit Kats, Hershey’s Bars, Reese’s cups and really any chocolate bar you can think of can be chopped up and used in place of the chocolate chips and M&Ms in this cookie recipe. Just toss the candy into a food processor and give it a quick pulse to chop them up.
I tend to make these after the kids have gone trick-or-treating because we have such a large variety of candies that we can use to change things up when making these cookies.
Peanut butter. I use creamy peanut butter when making these cookies but you can also use crunchy peanut butter if you want to.
Change up the chocolate chips! Peanut butter chips, butterscotch chips, white chocolate chips, semi-sweet chocolate chips, and milk chocolate chips all work well.
