While everyone is contemplating on their New Year’s Resolutions I am making a batch of cookies.

January is the time of year where the gyms fill back up and everyone is back trying to get their slim figure. I am usually a part of that crowd but this upcoming year weight loss is not my top priority. I am making my New Year’s resolution to spend more time with family!

That doesn’t mean I won’t work out or try to get back to my pre-pregnancy weight but it’s just not one of my top priorities.

I’ve always been a big fan of monster cookies but had never made them before. These cookies have anything and everything in them. You can even add more of your personal toppings if you want. Instead of using peanut butter I decided to step outside the norm and use nutella.

Great substitution in my book!

ENJOY!
