My four grandsons stated attending "Grandma's Cooking School" when they were as young as 4. This recipe from my hand-written cookbook is a favorite of the youngest, Brandon. He has fun making them and is always delighted with the results as is the rest of the family.—Helen Hilbert, Liverpool, New York

I wouldn't even make this recipie the way it is once- it is definitely very unhealthy. I transformed it into a healthy recipie:

1 cup less of butter and sugar ea. -only organic evaporated cane juice sugar,

organic eggs,

1/4 cup chocolate almond silk

3 1/2 C. wheat free flour (sorghum, spelt, rice or millet),

1/2 C. organic cocoa powder,

aluminum free baking powder,

sea salt,

organic corn flakes (free of high fructose corn syrup),

organic oats,

organic bitter-sweet chocolate chips,

organic mixed chopped nuts- almonds, cashews, walnuts, pecans, hazelnuts & sunflower seeds.

(dry & wet can be adjusted accordingly.

Cook in muffin tin filling halfway thru for real monster cookies (half the size of a muffin).

I use peanut M&Ms instead of chocolate chips and nuts. It adds color, and the kids love it!
