Lunch Box Monster Cookies By Kelly Miller • August15,2016 • Updated February 14, 2020 • Leave a Comment 379 Jump to Recipe These Lunch Box Monster Cookies use peanut butter cookie mix, chocolate chip cookie mix, oatmeal, and M&Ms for a one-bowl recipe that’s perfect for back to school lunchboxes! I’m in love with the name “monster cookies” but I realized as I was making them, I had absolutely no idea why they are called that! In researching monster cookies (I love my job), I’m coming to the conclusion that they are named “monster cookies” for two main reasons: they’re big, and they combine every favorite cookie into one. Chocolate chip cookies, peanut butter cookies, and oatmeal cookies – my favorite. If that doesn’t make you want to buy the ingredients right now and try them, I’m not sure you’re a cookie person! Back to school time is here, though, and I’m brainstorming some great snacks that are packable and portable. Unfortunately, oversized cookies just don’t make the cut! My mom took my kids out to buy new lunch boxes yesterday and I was very pleased that they picked ones that were a little on the larger side. I like packing healthy snacks along with one or two sweet treats and with the added bulk of a cooler pack, sandwich, drink, and utensils – I had a hard time fitting everything last year in Silas’ lunchbox! These regular-sized monster cookies are the perfect size to pack with your kiddo to school. Plus, there’s no need to have a wide variety of ingredients to put them together – simple cookie mix pouches make these a super easy one-bowl recipe. I plan on keeping the ingredients on hand for after school snacking, too! If your school is peanut free, you can easily substitute the peanut butter cookie mix pouch with a sugar cookie mix pouch instead – they taste amazing that way, too! Â These are insanely good with ice cold milk – we haven’t been able to stop eating them since I made them!
