Monster Cookies

I have a new favorite cookie called Monster cookies. They are amazing!! The recipe came my friend Nancy in Midland, TX. I've made them several times now and everyone I share them with love them. My husband took them on a hunting trip recently for all the guys. The cookies were discovered by the men in his truck, who promptly hid them and wouldn't let anyone else have any. There's a standing order for me to make them every year now.

This weekend I made them for my granddaughter, 14 months, and instead of putting peanut butter in them I used SoyNut Butter and instead of the chocolate I put in raisins. I don't know how she liked them yet. The jury is still out. I tasted them and they were ok, but I like the peanut butter better. I also made a few for her mamma with extra chocolate. :)

They also don't have any flour, so it would be a great recipe for people who are allergic to it. There are many variation that you could do with this recipe. Enjoy!! and thank you Nancy.
