Growing up my mother would make Monster Cookies. I was always amazed at the size of bowl/pan required to mix up the tasty treats. The name of the cookie, I have decided, isn't so much a description about the size of the cookies but rather the amount of cookie dough you end up with.
It was loads of fun to take turns stirring up the massive batch of cookies, but I never paid much attention to the amount of time spent baking them after my mother had us take turns mixing the dough. And, I never really paid much attention to the fact that we had container after container of cookies stored away in the freezer after the baking frenzy.
The recipe was passed along when I got married and I've made them a few times, and decided today was a great day to mix up a batch while I had two kids and one "adopted" kid that were willing subjects to do the mixing. After about 4 pans into the baking process I decided a recipe of this size would be more fun if I had the oven space and larger sheet pans like I use at school.

WOW that might actually feed all the kids on my block!
You know that part I can't stand the most in making cookies? It's the dropping by the teaspoonfuls onto the pans...this Monster Cookies batch size would make me start wearing orthotics because it'd kill my poor feet!
That said, it looks really fabulous and I'm sure would be gone in about 2 days at our house. ;)
I meant "the part" not "that part"...oy.
Nice spring colors on your blog, BTW!
yuuuummmmmm.....COOOOKKKIIIEEE
monster for sure!
looks like the ticket for a group of growing boys! And I just noticed you changed your wallpaper - neat! love the colors!
That is an obscene amount of cookies! But how long did all those actually last? ;)
Wow that's a lot of cookie dough! My thought is that there's no way anyone could know how much cookie dough you actually ate with a batch that big!! :D
That would be a great way to bake once and have cookies for a long time! But I also agree with Mama Z, it'd be hard to tell how much cookie dough you eat - mmmmm!
Looks Yummy! Feel free to mail me a few! LOL
Now talk about a Monster Feast! All I need is a monster-sized mug of milk and I will gladly eat those up!
