      Yummy Monster Cookies

      Yummy  Monster Cookies

      While my husband was working full time at the fire department years ago I used to be on a cookie making stretch! I made a ton a of different types of cookies to take to the guys while they were working. These Yummy Monster Cookies were an all time favorite of theirs and mine! I often made them in a double batch just so they lasted longer! Just be careful a double batch will over flow a standard kitchen aid mixer!

      Preparation Of Yummy Monster Cookies

      To start making these Yummy Monster Cookies pre-heat your oven to 350°.

      Then begin with combing your ingredients to make the monster cookie dough. Combine your softened butter, white granulated sugar, brown sugar, peanut butter, eggs, corn syrup, and vanilla to make a cream base.

      Then mix in your rolled oats and baking soda before adding in your plain M&Ms and semi sweet chocolate chips. Make sure to mix your ingredients well. I find this recipe is easiest to make with a stand or hand mixer— but can be done by hand too.

      Then use a cookie scoop to get even cookie dough balls and place balls approx 2″ apart on a cookie sheet. Continue with using the palm of your hand or a floured bottom of a cup to flatten the dough balls so the cookies bake evenly. This helps give you a flatter cookie that isn’t rounded on top. Even though they still taste good, they don’t stack in a container well!

      Baking

      Bake your cookies for 12-15 minutes or until the tops of the cookies are golden brown. Then remove your cookies and let them cool on the cookie sheet for 3-5 minutes before transferring them to a cooling rack or wax paper to completely cool.

      Make sure to store your cookies in an air tight container until you are ready to enjoy them!

    • Caramel Apple Sheet Cake

      Caramel Apple Sheet Cake

      It’s hard to believe fall is just around the corner already! With that in mind it was time to break out some of my favorite recipes for the fall season including this Caramel Apple Sheet Cake! This sheet cake is filled with delicious apples and topped with a wonderful caramel icing.

      Preparation Caramel Apple Sheet Cake

      Begin with preheating your oven to 375°.

      Then start with combining your ingredients to make a cream base for your Caramel Apple Sheet Cake. Combine the softened butter, vegetable shortening, granulated sugar, vanilla, eggs, and buttermilk combine until mixed well. Then slowly add in your flour, cinnamon and baking soda, mix well before slowly adding in your diced apples.

      Adding in apples to cake mix

      Once your apples have been added to your cake mix, pour your batter into a sheet pan or jelly roll pan and smooth out the batter.

      Apple cake ready to bake

      Baking

      Bake your Caramel Apple Sheet Cake at 375° for 20 minutes or until a knife or tooth pick can be cleanly removed form the center of the cake.

      Icing Your Sheet Cake

      Let your cake cool at least 20 minutes prior to starting to make your icing.

      The first time I made this cake, I did not wait long enough and made a gigantic mess in my kitchen with the icing! Do not make the same mistake!

      To start making your icing melt your butter over a low to medium heat on the stove top in a medium sauce pan. Once the butter is melted remove the pan from the heat and add in the vanilla, milk and caramel sauce. Mix well. Then whisk in the powdered sugar.

      After icing is smooth from whisking and powdered sugar is dissolved pour the icing over the cake and use a spatula to even out the icing over the sheet cake.

      What If I Don’t Have Some Of The Ingredients?

      The buttermilk is probably the oddest ingredient in this recipe that many of us don’t have on hand. The great news is you can make a buttermilk substitute with ingredients you likely have on hand! Check out this post to see how!

      If you don’t specifically have Gala apples don’t worry! Any apple that cooks will will work. I have also used Granny Smith apples and Fuji Apples with great success. My favorite apple for this recipe is the Gala apples though due to their texture and flavor after cooking.

      Storing Your Caramel Apple Sheet Cake

      Make sure to store your Caramel Apple Sheet cake in the refrigerator until you are ready to serve it. If you have left overs after initially serving your cake, store your cake in an air tight container. This will help to keep the cake moist and delicious!

      1/2 Cup Vegetable Shortening
