Monster Cookies in honor of Halloween and the Universe



When it came time for me to provide snacks for CHUM 377: Worlding the World, my three-hour religion seminar about the origin of the universe (...there's a lot more I could say about this class...), I knew I had to make something epic. I chose gigantic monster cookies in honor of Halloween. These were delicious and addictive (I ate half the cookie dough in the process of baking off the three batches) but next time I'll cut the sugar in half, use only organic chunky peanut butter and leave out the M&Ms. They were too sweet! as someone correctly pointed out:)

Recipe here.

Yeah, I ate that.

Anyone who knows me knows how much I adore Mark Bittman. So when I found out that the best sandwich he ever ate was at a small cafe on Las Ramblas in Barcelona, I obviously had to go there and order it. It was almost twice the price of every other sandwich on the menu just because of this NYT review--but totally worth the experience. Best sandwich I ever ate? Not really. Haha.
