Monster Cookies

Scott went to support the young women camp fundraiser this year. After the dinner, they have a dessert auction. Scott bought a plate of cookies by Jill. She definitely makes the best cookies. We decided to start the love"—and calories—and have them delivered when Jason and Erik and their families were visiting here in Portland.  Scott picked Jill's monster cookies and we have all thoroughly enjoyed them. The last cookies was shared for lunch as I type. If you go to Barbara's cook book above, you can check out another version of Monster Cookies. I remember Jared making these, and even mailing them to us!
