Frequently Asked Questions:

Are these cookies suitable for children?
Absolutely! These cookies were designed to be enjoyed by cookie monsters of all ages. However, due to their high sugar content, they should be served as a special treat rather than an everyday snack.

Can I customize the ingredients in the Monster Mash Cookies?
Yes, you can. The joy of Monster Mash Cookies is that they are highly customizable. You can add any kind of candy or chocolate you like. Just remember to keep the proportions the same to ensure they bake correctly.

I have a nut allergy. Can I still enjoy Monster Mash Cookies?
Yes, as long as you’re careful about the ingredients you add. The basic Monster Mash Cookies recipe doesn’t require any nuts. However, if you’re buying pre-packaged candies or chocolates to add into the dough, make sure to check the labels for any nut allergens.

How long will these cookies keep for?

If stored properly in an airtight container, Monster Mash Cookies should stay fresh for about a week. If you wish to keep them longer, you could freeze the baked cookies for up to three months.
