Anyone else suddenly swamped by all the Christmas treats around the house? I usually don’t really know what to do with them, so I either keep them for next Christmas or try to give them away, however, this year I thought I would do something different with them, so I mixed them all together, and turned them into some delicious cookies.
I believe these are called Monster Cookies in the US, however, I had never seen that in the UK, so I’m just calling them Christmas leftover cookies or just Peanut M&Ms and chocolate cookies.
So what I had at home was M&Ms and A LOT of Lindt chocolate, I added some extra crunchy peanut butter to the mix and voilà! Super tasty cookies that btw, will make your kitchen smell like heaven!
Btw, happy new year everyone! I hope you had a great end of the year and I hope this year brings you everything you want and more!
