Monster Cookies

The first time I ever had a Monster Cookie was in San Diego, from Corner Bakery Cafe.  I made Monster Cookies once before, and they were full of yummy ingredients, but I recently tried another recipes, and they really turned out monstrous!

They were huge (and flourless!), and I only wish I added more M&M's and chocolate chips!
