I wanted to put something homemade in the Halloween treat bags for the neighbor boys and thought Monster Cookies would be appropriate. I found this recipe in one of my really old grocery store checkout stand cookbooks. They called them Giant Confetti Oatmeal Cookies but that was too much of a mouthful! Here is a picture of the neighbor boys in their Halloween costumes!
Caden is a chicken farmer and little brother Landon is the chicken! Their mom made that adorable chicken costume! :)
I didn't take pictures when I made these for Halloween because I had never made them before and wasn't sure if the recipe would be worth sharing. Sure was a great excuse to whip up another batch this morning! By the way, this recipe uses my Baking Mix.
Monster Cookies
1 cup butter, softened
1 cup brown sugar
1/2 cup granulated sugar
2 teaspoons vanilla
2 eggs
2 cups Baking Mix
2 cups old-fashioned rolled oats
2 cups plain M&Ms
1 cup raisins
Preheat oven to 325 degrees. In a large bowl, beat butter and sugars until light and fluffy. Add vanilla and eggs; mix well. Add Baking Mix and stir well. Stir in rolled oats, M&Ms and raisins.
Drop dough by 1/4-cupfuls about 3 inches apart onto ungreased cookie sheet. I use a cookie scoop and put two scoops on top of each other and then flatten them out.
Enjoy your Monster Cookies with an ice-cold glass of RAW goat milk!! ;-)
Candy,
ReplyDeleteThose look soooo good and served warm with that raw goat's milk would be heavenly. I can't believe how BIG they are. Your neighbor boys look adorable in their costumes. I bet they enjoyed those cookies alot. I also like that I can use your baking mix for this recipe. I'll have my grandson next week and I know we will have to make a batch.
Candy, those look fabulous. My kids would love this recipe! It is wonderful that your baking mix is so versatile; I notice you are able to use it in most anything.
ReplyDeleteHave a good evening. :)
Yum!

MF,
I LOVE the Baking Mix! It can even be used as a breading for oven-fried chicken and pork chops! :)
dr momi,
Yep, Yum!!
Holy, moly, now THAT'S a cookie!!!
ReplyDeleteThe boys are so cute. Cookies look great. I am always looking for new recipes. Raw goat milk,? Not sure about that one.But then I have never had it.
ReplyDeleteNancy,
ReplyDeleteI sure do like them! :)
Michelle,
The milk from our goats tastes just like the cow milk you buy at the store, it's all in what they eat and ours eat dairy-grade alfalfa and goat supplement! It's really good! :)
I ADORE that chicken costume!
ReplyDeleteI'm never gonna lose any weight if you guys keep posting cookie pictures like that!
ReplyDeleteAnd. Oh. My. Goodness. Is that chicken costume THE cutest thing I've seen!
Kateri and Caroly Renee,
ReplyDeleteI about died when I saw how cute little Landon was in his chicken costume! His mom sure did a great job!! :)
I have to agree, the chicken costume is adorble!
ReplyDeleteMy Sister was a Monster Cookie fan when we were growing up. Sister or Mom made them often. As I remember they never lasted very long.
