Wedding Cookies



I tend to think that cookies are a good thing to bring to most occasions.  When planning our wedding, I had a grand plan of having a cookie table that people could contribute to and then take home at the end of the night.  However I was sad to find out once we picked our venue that due to food safety laws no homemade food could be served there.

After some brainstorming - we came up with the idea of cookies in a jar.  I figured this was even better than taking away already made cookies - as our guests could take them home, and have easy delicious cookies whenever they wanted.  I set out to find a recipe with ingredients that just fit inside a quart jar, had a variety of colors, and were tasty - and I lucked out to stumble upon this monster cookie recipe.

Not only are these cookies simple to make, but they are delicious!  They are sort of a like a chocolate chip, M&M and oatmeal cookie, all mixed in together into one chewy cookie.  And they make great gifts either in a jar, or in cookie form :).


Note: If you are baking in the UK - make sure to get large whole rolled oats.  In the states I always just bought the Quaker oats for baking, but I've found that in the UK they come chopped up too small, so they are not as good for cookies!



Monster Cookies
113 grams (1/2 cup) butter - melted and slightly cooled
1 egg
1 tsp vanilla

Ingredients in jar, in this order:
1 1/3 cup flour
1 tsp baking powder
1 tsp baking soda
1/4 tsp salt
1/2 cup brown sugar
1/2 cup white sugar
1/2 cup chocolate chips
1/2 cup M & Ms (chocolate chips and M&Ms are mixed together)
1 1/3 cup rolled oats

To Make:
Preheat oven to 170c (350f)
1. Mix wet ingredients together.
2. Add dry ingredients and mix well.  (If they are not coming from a jar, then add then a few at a time, to make mixing easier)
3. Drop by rounded spoonfuls (mine where 1 1/4 ounce) onto ungreased cookie sheet.  Bake for 9-11 minutes, rotating half way through - until the edges are slightly browned and middles are just barely cooked.

Note: If putting ingredients into the jar - then pack them down after each addition, so that the ingredients fit tightly together and don't get disturbed.

  1. Sweets, desserts, cookies, cakes, cup cakes and a never ending list of amazing food at occasions should always be of best quality. American and Mexican cuisines at one of the famous NYC wedding venues were ordered by my friend at his cocktail party. DJ and anchor made the atmosphere cheerful. Also the theme of red black worked very well.

  15. Recently, my cousin became engaged, and I will be his best man. Naturally, the subject of who will be his Bay Area Wedding Photographer ​videographer came up. His answer was simple: what should I look for in a wedding videographer? Being in the business myself, I would like to shed some light on the subject. When you look for a wedding videographer, look for someone who is constantly shooting weddings. On average, a busy wedding videographer will record about 20-35 weddings per year. Above 35 weddings could be overkill.
