SRC: Monster Cookies

Time for August Secret Recipe Club reveal! 

Secret Recipe Club

This month I was given Jen's Journey. Jen has a variety of different recipes and it gave me lots to pick from. I have seen different variations of monster cookies floating around, but never had a chance to make them for myself. I love m&m candy in cookies so I figured that it would be a hit. Jen's Monster Cookies and full of delicious ingredients like nuts, candy, chocolate chips, oatmeal and even rice krispies. I loved the rice krispies in the cookies because they gave a great crunch to what is a pretty dense cookie. The only variation I made (besides a few different measurements) was to use rolled oat over quick oats and I cut it down to 1 cup.  The cookies turned out great and I would do this again because we don't usually have quick oats on hand. Ron and I both loved these cookies- we felt bad eating them in front of Kellen! Thank you Jen for a great treat! 

Speaking of the baby- he is doing well. He is still working on standing. He is also loving screaming "contests", aka he yells at us and laughs. I am loving his sense of humor!
