Godzilla Monster Cookies?

As you know from when I produced cookies along with the recipes in my recently-published book “Make Your Own Darn Good Cookies” I made two types of Monster Cookies — Bigfoot and Chupacabra Monster Cookies.  They were a HIT!  Godzilla

My Bigfoot Monster Cookies feature peanut butter, oats, choc-chips, and m&… er, a candy-coated chocolate.  My Chupacabras are focused around peanut butter, oats, dried cranberries and white chocolate chips.  I slapped a signature name on these for some savvy marketing and things were good to go.  Bigfoot was a familiar local name while Chupacabra fit with the white chocolate chips for fangs and dried cranberries for red eyes that the creature is sometimes noted as having.  Godzilla

I would like to make a number of different Monster Cookies after different beasties — cryptozoological beasties like The Loch Ness Monster and the Jersey Devil, mythical beasties like Krampus, and then today when I had a BRAINSTORM ….. in this case, I’m thinking …. FILM!  Godzilla

So here’s my question ….. What flavours would you think of for a Godzilla themed Monster Cookie?  What kind of cookie base would it have, what highlight flavours (candies, spices, etc)?

Mint Chocolate Chip Cookie Squares – EXPERIMENT

What’s green and brown and all mixed up?

Some of my recipes I imagine and then create – with others I get the flavour idea from some other recipe, glean what I need from it in the way of flavouring and proportions, and then create my own cookie.  Early this month I came across a recipe for Mint Chocolate Chip Cookies – and they looked TASTY!  I instantly thought about this flavour being a cookie square…

Spread out in my forming pan and ready to go…

Around the middle of the month I got the opportunity to give it a go – take a look at the results below – it seems this is one of the times I nailed the recipe in the first go.  Here are two other bits of good news…

Yeah, I know, they’re a little toasted on top & don’t quite look minty green. I’ll see the inside results when I cut these apart after they’ve cooled over night.

…In simple terms, the way this recipe worked out, I learned more about my base Cookie Square recipe, enabling me to more easily make other flavours I imagine.

…I’ve already included this recipe in my soon-to-be-published baking book – not only do you get to see them here, but you will have the opportunity to make them yourself!

And how’s the book going?  There’s still a good chunk of work to do but I’m starting to see the light at the end of the tunnel.  I’m working with an editor — Linda AKA CheckChick.com, who is FANTASTIC — and the writing is better than ever!  My *HOPE* is that the book will be published late-December or early-January.  Keep your eyes here and on the WIBC Facebook page…..

YEP – these cookies are GREEN! Trust me, I know – I live in a state where 1/2 of everything is green ….. not minty though.
