What are monster cookies?

If you haven’t had a monster cookie now is the time. They are such a tasty cookie combination of some of the best flavors all wrapped up into one perfect cookie. Most monster cookies are made with a thick and chewy peanut butter oatmeal cookie base and are LOADED with colorful M&Ms and chocolate chips. They’re traditionally made very big which gives them a crunchy edge and a soft and gooey center.

Why are monster cookies called monster cookies?

This is something I had to look up and still haven’t found a clear consensus on. I always thought they were called monster cookies because of their traditionally “monstrous” or large size, and because they are loaded with m&ms, oatmeal and chocolate chips making them colorful and a little crazy. A little research gave me an even better explanation that they’re called monster cookies because they are the “Frankenstein” of cookies. You basically smoosh together a peanut butter cookie, oatmeal cookie, and chocolate chip cookie and throw m&ms in the mix! I think Frankenstein cookies would have been a fun name too.
