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.
