Monster Cookies
You are in for a treat with these Easter Monster Cookies! Boy, I’m having a hard time resisting the darn Easter chocolates! Target has the best Easter candy, along with so many other items I find hard to resist. So excited for you to try my Monster Easter Cookies. These will be so great for after Easter when you ransack the kids baskets or grab the Easter Candy at 1/2 off! Completely sinful but so fun! Everything in moderation right? That’s my motto 🙂

How To Make Easter Monster Cookies
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. and line a large baking sheet with a silpat liner or parchment paper.
- Cream butter and sugars in stand mixer, until light and fluffy, about 2 minutes. Add egg and vanilla beating to combine. Slowly add dry ingredients and chopped Easter Chocolates. Beat gently until just combined.
- With a cookie scoop, scoop dough onto prepared baking sheet placing about 1 inch apart. Press each cookie down about 1/2 inch before baking.
- Bake for 10-13 minutes until golden brown. With a plastic knife, re-form cookies into a nice round shape, cleaning up any melted chocolates that may have oozed out the sides. Let cookies cool for 10 minutes on baking sheet before transferring to cooling rack.

I’m like a little cookie monster so it’s only fitting that I’d love these monster easter cookies! Awesome idea! Thanks. 🙂
these are so over the top! can’t wait to make them for ava!
All that candy in one cookie? This is a dream come true!
Haha! A bit excessive, but apparently that’s what I do, lol!
This goes on the list of recipes to make after Easter when the Easter candy goes on half price sale. 🙂 I stock up after each holiday and have fun chopping up candy and trying out recipes 🙂 Thanks!
Me too Wendy! Love going the day after!
I love the pictures with your Kitchen Aid mixers, they look so springy! I just bought Easter candy for the baskets. Do I dare get into them to make these oh so tempting cookies? Oh yes, I can always buy more.
Haha! Very tempting indeed!
Yes, PLEASE!!!
Great idea! I did something similar after Halloween, but I did cheesecake bars with leftover candy.
Love!!
These would be great treats for Easter!
My girls just saw this and they love, love, love…me too!
That’s a lot of candy! Love it!
Love the abundance of Easter candy in these!!
I’ll take 2 dozen please 🙂
I seriously died when I saw all of the easter candy in these cookies! What a fun recipe! Your mixer is easter-themed too, love it!
These are perfect! Love the KitchenAid color 🙂 Such fun!
Those look good! Love the mixer color!
I have bought numerous bags and individuals of all the easter candies at Target! I swear that store will be the death of me!! Soo much candy soo little time!
Easter candy sales are my weakness too!
Oh my! I’m SO in candy heaven right now! I always have to buy extra so there’s enough for the actual recipe! (=
My only problem with these cookies is that about half of that candy wouldn’t make it to the cookies…because someone would eat them.
Like me. maybe. ooops.
these look fantastic, Jenny! I saw your Vine while you were making these – haha that Snickers bar was trying to get away from ya! i love all the candies in the cookies!
mmm. Mixing the chocolate bars into the cookie mix is genius. My little one would love these:)
Those cookies look great! I’m an Easter candy junkie too, but I’m allergic to chocolate. Luckily there are lots of jelly beans and the like. The Reese’s Pieces Eggs are the best.
What do you mean in recipe 2 INGEDIENT???? Just want to be sure I don’t miss any chocolately goodness! YUM-o
Oops, I need to remove that. Thanks for catching!
Easter candy? I’m not sure I would have any candy left to put in the cookies by the time they were ready to bake…ESPECIALLY if I was using the REESE’S PEANUT BUTTER Easter candies. Why are the egg shaped REESE’S so much better than the regular? Hmmm. It remains a mystery to me. Great recipe!
Are you kidding-candy and cookie in one? Um, yes please! These looks great, Jenny!
I really want to make these. But I have a feeling they would never get shared with anyone ever. 😉
Agreed! -Everything in moderation… Although I think it would be hard with these!
WOW, thats a genius idea to use ALL that candy in one cookies. I want to make these today.
Those pretty Kitchen Aids made me smile this morning! And I wish I had a stack of cookies to fuel me for the day. xox
Such fun + festive Easter cookies!
Is it so wrong that it is 6am and I could really go for a whole plate of these right now?
I love easter candy too. Not sure I would ever be able to stop eating these!
These are so full of yumminess!! Love this!
Whoa, you weren’t kidding when you said you’re loving the Easter Candy! I made some M&M cookies last week with the pretty spring pastel colors but you totally have me beat and I love it! That candy assortment in your process shots – makes my heart go pitter patter 🙂
These do look like heaven! And the perfect way to use up some of that left-over candy after Easter. 🙂
Totally awesome idea…I love these…yum!! 🙂
