For Halloween week, Crumbl released their fan-favorite Monster cookies for the week. The number of requests I received to remake them were crazy so I had to do it ASAP! I used a mixture of brown and granulated imperial sugar to get that chewy texture from Crumbl and trust me when I say this, we succeeded!

This recipe couldn’t have been released at a more perfect time too! I feel like a lot of us are going to have extra leftover candy from Halloween so what more of a reason to make these cookies.

Plus you can always mix and match, so instead of using chocolate chips, you can go with chopped-up Twix or Reese’s cups… or whatever the heart desires really!

Frequently asked questions – FAQ

How to store Monster cookies?

You can store them by placing them in an airtight container and storing them at room temperate for up to 4 days.

You can also store them in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 7 days. I prefer this method and usually pop them in the microwave for a few seconds to get them soft and chewy, ooey-gooey again!

HOW CAN I MAKE CRUMBL CATERING SIZED COOKIES?

Instead of making 8 giant cookies, you can make 16 smaller catering size cookies by dividing your cookie dough into 18 little balls and baking them in the preheated oven for 9-10 minutes.

    These cookies are amazing. I have nothing but praises for you Chahinez. Everyone who has tried it at a friendโ€™s party was amazed at how soft and chewy they are. You are amazing! I have not tried any of the cookies in your website that was a fail. Glad to have seen you on IG and followed your every posts and stories.

    1. Marlene says:

      The recipe at crumble has oats. What ratio should I use? Would it be part flour and part oats?

      1. Chahinez says:

        I would swap a 1/2 cup of flour for 1/2 cup of oats.

    2. Chahinez says:

      OMG thank you so much you’re so sweet! ๐Ÿ™‚

    These tasted great but they came out cake like. Wondering what I did wrong?

    1. Chahinez says:

      Hi Michelle! Thank you and you could’ve maybe used too much egg or too much baking powder.
