I live with an actual Cookie Monster. She’ll be five in a few months. She’s a pretty good sous chef. She demanded we make some cookies today. So, in her honor, I have named these after her. We never bake an entire batch at one time. I portion them and freeze them in a zip-lock bag with the baking instructions on it. That way, we can have fresh baked cookies in a flash!
