How is it that we never tire of cookies!? Maybe I’m speaking for myself but cookies are always a good idea. Sad? Make cookies. Happy? Make cookies. Need a gift? Make cookies! Honestly, they are such a delicious treat with endless possibilities. Every time I think I’ve seen all the recipes I could possibly find, a whole new cookbook finds me! I feel like everyone loves monster cookies: peanut butter, oats, candy – what isn’t to love?!

As most of my cookies do, these freeze wonderfully – if you have any left to freeze!
