Today was a perfect Saturday. We didn’t have anywhere to go, and it was a nice change to just sit at home and chill. The kids played nicely together and had ‘pajama day’. Chris worked on some college work and watched pre-season football.

This recipe was inspired by an episode I watched of Pioneer Woman on the Food Network. I mentioned to Chris making some monster cookies, and asked if he would enjoy them.

He told me the monster cookies sounded good minus the M&M’s, peanut butter chips, Rice Krispies and pecans.

Laughing, I pointed out that he basically wanted a chocolate chip cookie with oats.

He said, “I don’t know. Maybe also coconut.”

Laughing, I said, “Ok. We will have monster cookies minus everything that goes in them. Add oats and coconut.”

As the first batch cooled, he closely inspected each individual cookie before deciding which ones would make the cut. ~ Around 2019
