Monster Mash Chocolate Cookies are an ultra chocolately cross between a brownie and a cookie- they are fantastic and made from scratch!
I made these for a gathering and they were FANTASTIC!!! So soft yet chewy, they tasted like a cross between a brownie and a cookie! My only suggestion to you all is to double the recipe because they were wolfed down in no time by my family.
It’s a lot easier when not using a crappy box of cake mix for the chocolate flavor, the cocoa powder gave these cookies an outstanding, rich chocolate flavor that cannot be beat!! They are incredible for an easy, quick fix for your chocolate craving…you have found it! The fact that they taste like brownies is a bonus.
I had to double this recipe last time, they went so fast! I have mixed the m&ms together with dark chocolate and milk chocolate chips if you love an extra chocolaty cookie like I do! Most reliable recipe ever and guests rave BAKER NOTE: Chilling the dough isn’t necessary but recommended. It will cut down on the flatness of the cookies and give you more of a thick cookie.
They are delicious to give as gifts to friends and family for the holidays, they are wonderful for Halloween, Christmas (just change the m&m color) or Thanksgiving , just use yellow and orange m&m’s! Bake sales, cookie exchanges- I got you covered! 😉
