WHY THE NAME MONSTER COOKIE?
It’s not about the size…it’s more about the monstrous amount of ingredients that goes into the making of a monster cookie. The original recipe even had jam! I think the focus was more about using whatever was in the pantry. But mostly Monster Cookies are made with oats, peanut butter, mini chocolate chips and M&M’s.
HOW TO SAFELY FREEZE COOKIE DOUGH
- Make cookie dough as directed
- Form dough (in this case into a mound, I like using an ice cream scoop)
- Place on a cookie sheet lined with parchment paper and freeze until hard
- Once hard drop into a labeled freezer safe zip top bag
- Place back into the freezer (up to 3 months) until ready to use.
HOW TO BAKE FROZEN COOKIE DOUGH
- Grab as many dough balls as you want to bake
- Preheat oven as directed from the recipe
- Place dough balls on a parchment lined cookie sheet, spread apart
- If you allow the dough balls to thaw, bake as directed from the recipe. If you choose to bake the dough balls frozen, you’ll have to adjust the baking time to allow for the dough ball to defrost.

STOP buying store bought cookie dough and eating it raw! That’s a good way of getting food poisoning. Making your own edible raw cookie is easier then you think and can be added to a variety of desserts. From frostings to cupcake fillings making your own edible raw cookie dough is AHH-MAZING!
