:: Chewy Monster Cookies ::
Did you ever daydream, as a kid, about the kind of parent you wanted to be? Clearly my thoughts weren’t too deep, as I remember wanting to be the type of mom that had fresh baked cookies waiting on the table for my kids when they arrived home from school. Ha! Since I have been blessed with four little ones, I try to make that happen on occasion. After all, what is better than walking into a home filled with smells of warm, chocolatey cookies?!
I’ve never met a kid that doesn’t love m&m’s! My children are completely drawn to the colorful candies, when we pass them in the store! The combination of chocolate with peanut butter is always a good mix… making these Monster cookies the ultimate kid treat!
I love that these gems don’t have the addition of flour! It’s simply not needed… just like my other favorites — Flourless Peanut Butter Chocolate Chip Cookies! You won’t miss it, I promise! It makes these sweet treats a bit less heavy. They are packed full of peanut butter and oats in its place.
These monsters {or bite-sized monsters, in my case} store well in an airtight container for a few days. They are also great packed in school lunches, as they stay nice and chewy days after you make them!
They also make a tasty gift for neighbors, teachers, co-workers, and friends! I packaged up a dozen of these yummies for our neighbor after he so thoughtfully mowed our lawn last week! {We have the best neighbors!}

Alright, folks! So I tried 91rummybet the other day. Rummy’s my jam, and this site does the trick. Payouts were quick, which is a huge plus. A few more tournaments would be cool, but I’m definitely sticking around. Give it a shot: 91rummybet
