Monster cookies. Where does that name come from? I’ve also heard them called kitchen sink cookies, because there are so many ingredients you can add to them. I found a recipe for monster cookies on a blog I frequent and they did NOT turn out, at ALL. Boy was I sad. Not only was I disappointed that I couldn’t indulge in the cookie, I was also upset by all the dollar signs I saw being thrown right into the garbage! These are some expensive cookies to make, so the recipients better be worthy of them! I then heard of this recipe, from a friend. They were exactly what I was looking for and turned out perfectly. First time.

Recipe Notes
[My 2 Cents]
Per Cappy's suggestion I used coffee creamer in the recipe rather than milk. She says it gives them a richer flavor, but honestly I think I would prefer milk instead. These were very, very good - but I could taste the flavor of the creamer too much, so I will let you decide however you would like to make them.
