I’d like us all to adopt a new saying, “The kids made me do it.” Go ahead, start using this one because not only is it totally my life, but I feel like it’s also the perfect excuse to get away with a few things. Like these Reese’s Monster Cookies for example. Yes, they are like the original Monster Cookies, but with a little extra love.
I’m beginning to think that I’m Averie Cooks’ twin because everything in my home revolves around peanut butter. Actually, I made the mistake of introducing our 3 year old to Biscoff so her world revolves around that. Anyway, I’m a bit of a baking with peanut butter snob too. I will only use Jif or Skippy when I make my cookies unless it’s some random flavor then I’ll look into another kind. They are just the flat out best for baking in my opinion.
So, I decided to make the classic monster cookie and my daughter immediately said, “If you’re adding chocolate chips and m&m’s why wouldn’t you add Reese’s? It’s only going to make it way better.” Um, you’re a genius. So we did. And we ate them all. And it was heaven. The end. Let your cookie making begin.

Wanted to make these cookies today – just wanted to check if the ingredient list is correct. You don’t have any flour listed, but there is 1 1/4 cups lt. brown sugar & 1 cup sugar (is the 1 cup sugar supposed to be flour?). And there’s no baking powder listed? wanted to check before I start making these delicious looking cookies. Thank you!

That’s adorable that your daughter loves Biscoff!

While I’m choosing not to eat sugar (and gluten) anymore for health reasons and have usually found it pretty easy to not be tempted by things since then (last June), these look divine. And they’d be well liked and eaten here by a bunch of boys.

LOL, love your excuse, especially since it brought these cookies into the world! I have no reason (or shame) behind my addiction to PB other than the fact that it’s deliciously magical. My addiction to biscoff, however, I blame on Trader Joe’s. They were sampling it, and that was the end of my self control.

So happy that you made them with Reese’s! It is my favorite candy besides peanut m&ms.
Chelsea @chelseasmessyapron
