My preferred salsa for summertime grilling is this one! Everyone enjoys the food I’ve served to visitors and family. Serve alongside grilled fish, pork, or chicken breast.

For this recipe I added 1 1/2 cups butter, 1 cup peanut butter ( a little more), only 3 cups of oats and less chocolate chips, only about a cup and a 1/4. I think they would have been so dry had I added another cup of oats. They were very tasty! I love my cookies chewy so I took these out after 10 minutes and made them fairly large- bigger than a golf ball. Will definitely make again.
This was my first Monster cookie try and this recipe was easy to follow and the cookies came out great. I didn’t give it all 5 stars because it seemed like it could be a bit better. I didn’t realize tat some monster cookies have peanut butter in them and I LOVE peanut butter. I will try again.
These cookies are amazing! I replaced half of the flour with peanut butter powder. What a great decision!
In a word–DELICIOUS
I added another cup of flour and used 1 cup of chocolate chips and 2 cups of candy pieces.
Best Cookies ever, I used two cups smarties and I cup chocolate chips and they are delicious.
Love this recipe, quick, easy and delicious!!
These did not turn out at all for me. It was a big crumbing mess that didn’t form into a cookie and I threw the whole thing out. I was confident I mixed the right amounts so when I looked for a different recipe I noticed none of the other monster cookie recipes had flour. My second batch with no flour (from a different recipe) was perfect. Obviously lots of people had good results on this one but I’ll stick with the no flour recipes.
These were yummy! I added a cup of peanut butter chips too. I also used what I had open and added a very full cup + of milk chocolate chips to a half cup of semi sweet chocolate chips. I topped some of these with m&ms just to make them look better for the kids. I used a small ice cream scooper so they were fairly large. Many people love them!
made it twice. Once for chuch sale and once for a bake sale. Everyone loved them. I did switch up the chips the second time and added a cup of sea salt carmel chips for one of the cups of chocolate chips.
I gave these 3 stars because they tasted really good, but like some other reviewers said the dough was really dense and dry and the cookies would not spread in the oven at all. I looked up some other recipes to compare ingredients and amounts, and this recipe looks to have too much flour/oats in it compared to the fat content. The only changes I made was to substitute peanut butter for the margarine ( I halved the recipe and used 1/2 cup butter and 1/2 cup peanut butter). There seems to be a lot of good reviews too, so I am not sure what they did differently to make the cookies come out right. Very good flavor though, I ate a fair amount of the cookie dough lol.
I love these cookies so much! They’re always perfectly chewy, and I love a cookie with a respectable amount of oatmeal. The chocolate/candy pieces can be subbed out for any kind of mix-in, I just did toffee and cashew and they turned out awesome as well! Thanks so much Linda, these are my go to cookie recipe!
Delicious cookies. I followed the recipe except I added a handful of flour at the end and they turned out great”.
Made as written and they are way too sweet. I will try again and reduce the sugar by half. The sweetness is really overpowering.
I substituted peanut butter for the full amount of margarine. Then, I flip-flopped the amounts for chocolate chips and M&M’s, because who doesn’t love M&M’s? Brought these to my bowling league night and they disappeared! I also had requests for the recipe. I had left some at home for my husband, who doesn’t like sweets that much, and he ate them up quickly! I would call this recipe a definite success!!

FABULOUS recipe. Cookies are one of my favorite things to make, but this was my first attempt at Monster Cookies, and the family *loved* them. My husband asked me to make some for him to take to work next week so he can brag about them. That’s quite a vote of confidence. They only variation I made was to use Butter Flavor Crisco instead of butter and margarine. I use it for all my cookies; it’s my “secret ingredient”. I also added a handful of chopped peanuts, just for a bit of texture and salt. This is a keeper!
I made these for my Ski Club kiddos. What a hit on the ride home!
Wow perfect cookies soo good- I don’t usually rate recipes but I had to its so good!
Great recipe! Was asked to make cookies on short notice, so had to use what I had in the house. I never have margarine, so I used all butter. Didn’t have any candy pieces, so used coconut and butterscotch chips along with the chocolate chips. I also forgot to put in the salt. Turned out great!!
I added peanut butter and nuts included the butter and margarin. I mixed it in a stand mixer. They came out perfect, I couldn’t ask for more.
