Dad's Monster CookiesMy monster cookies have been a part of our family's holiday tradition since 1984. I have carried this tradition on throughout the ups and downs our family has endured. Through our consistent moves during my career in the Army, to the moving of our kids, to the death of my wife last year, it is the tradition of these cookies each holiday season that brings us all together and provide us that comfort feeling of home.
