These are going to be my go-to M&M cookies from now on! I made these for a dessert potluck and they turned out fantastic! A very easy recipe to follow, and the result was a delicious, soft cookie with so many yummy flavors. I’ve kept the leftovers in an airtight container and they stayed soft through the week. Also, I can’t believe I’ve never thought to pre-portion the dough BEFORE chilling! GENIUS! Thank you for an amazing recipe and a fantastic tip!

I have made these SOOOOO many times & we’ve always loved them but today I added a “twist” and it was really good. Not to replace the original but just a fun additional I had on hand & wanted to use up. We get the big container of peanut butter filled pretzel “puffs” from Costco so I crushed them in a bag & added about a cup+ and it was 😋 yummy.
Thank you for your “care” and geniune thoughtfulness that you share with all of us ~ it is so greatly appreciated and ENJOYED❗️❗️❗️ Linda

Will be trying this recipe. Make monster cookies all the time using mini m&m’s but they are not soft.

I have the original monster cookie recipe. It was made in the 1930’s by the CCC’s (civilian conservation corps) in the depression era. The monster name came from the size of the recipe, not the size of the cookie. It has 12 eggs, 2lbs brown sugar, 4 cups white sugar, 1 tbs vanilla, 1 tbs Karo, 8 tsp soda, 1 lb butter or margarine, 3 lbs chunky peanut butter. Mix in a very large bread bowl. Add 18 cups of rolled oatmeal. Add 1 lb M&M’s and 12 oz chocolate chips. There is NO flour. I expect the candy was a later embellishment. My 92 year old husband’s aunts got the recipe when their husbands were in the CCC’s.
