My Favorite Cookies

Nope, still no baby.  Maybe the next post.

Today is officially my first day of maternity leave.  I didn't work last Friday or Monday, but I wouldn't have anyway... and Jason was off... so I don't think that counts.  Anyway, I just thought I'd share with you my favorite (and Jason's and Haley's favorite) cookies that I decided to make today - Monster Cookies!!

These cookies are perfect if you like soft, chewy, delicious cookies.  It's also fun to make these for different holidays when you can buy the different colored M&Ms.  You can get the recipe here.

I do have a few comments about the recipe in case you decide to make these:
1)  The recipe makes WAY more than 3 dozen cookies!
2)  I omit raisins and add more chocolate chips and M&Ms :)
3)  Make sure the butter is really, really soft or the dough will be hard to mix together.
4)  I bake the cookies longer than 10 minutes.

Try not to drool over these photos...




I'll share if anyone wants to stop by :)  But since Jason will want at least 3 in his lunch everyday, I'm not sure how long they'll last....
