Monster Cookies. Why are they called Monster Cookies?
There doesn't seem to be clear consensus on how Monster Cookies got their name. An early account of the cookies from 1971 indicates they got their name from the shear amount of stuff loaded into them, and there is a lot of stuff: 9 cups of oats, 24 ounces of peanut butter, 6 eggs, lots of M&Ms and chocolate chips, plus more. Some think it's because they look like monsters with their bumpy texture and variety of colors, yet others thinks it's because of the monstrous size of the cookies themselves.
They’re the monster of the cookie world -- a mash-up of parts of different cookie recipes. Part oatmeal cookie, part peanut butter cookie, and part chocolate chip.
You can make them big (monstrous size), you can make them small (monstrous quantity). Regardless, cookie monsters of all ages will love them.
