Monster Cookies

2006 Germany · found on the web

This is a cookie recipe that I found on the web. While living in Germany I made many a cookie. This one was made for a Birthday cookie. We quickly learned that in Germany it is bad luck to wish someone a "Happy Birthday" before the day arrives. So these cookies were made for the Monday celebration for a co-worker that had a Birthday over the weekend.
