Monster Cookies

This fabulous recipe for sweet crunchy monster cookies comes from a great baking cookbook The Amish Cook’s Baking Book.

They all look wonderful and I want to try them all, one recipe at a time.

I love the tried and true homestyle authentic Amish baking recipes in this cookbook. The author, Lovina Eicher, writes this of her monster cookie recipe:

“My children like these cookies because of the M&M’s. If these are in the pan when cookies are passed around at church, the children will grab these first because they see the M&M’s. Mom would make these sometimes, not too often, because it was difficult to keep the M&M’s on hand.”
