Gluten Free Monster Cookies
These gluten free monster cookies are loaded with color, chocolate, and chewiness. They're a fun treat the whole family will love.
Ingredients
- 1 cup Creamy Peanut Butter
- 3/4 cup Packed Light Brown Sugar
- 1/2 cup Granulated Sugar
- 2 large Eggs
- 1 tsp Pure Vanilla Extract
- 1 tsp Baking Soda
- 1/4 tsp Fine Sea Salt
- 3 cups Gluten Free Certified Rolled Oats
- 3/4 cup Semi-Sweet Chocolate Chips
- 3/4 cup Gluten Free Candy-Coated Chocolates
- 1/4 cup Mini Gluten Free Candy-Coated Chocolates (for pressing on top)
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F and line two large baking sheets with parchment paper.
- In a large bowl, stir together the peanut butter, light brown sugar, and granulated sugar until well combined and smooth. Add the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition, then stir in the vanilla extract.
- Sprinkle the baking soda and fine sea salt over the mixture and stir until evenly distributed. Add the gluten free rolled oats and fold until fully incorporated into the dough.
- Fold in the chocolate chips and the 3/4 cup of candy-coated chocolates until evenly scattered throughout. The dough will be thick and chunky.
- Scoop the dough into 2-tablespoon-sized balls and place them about 3 inches apart on the prepared baking sheets. Gently press a few mini candy-coated chocolates into the top of each dough ball for a colorful presentation.
- Bake for 11 to 13 minutes until the edges are set and just barely golden. The centers will look soft and slightly puffy. Do not overbake as they firm up significantly as they cool.
- Let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for at least 10 minutes before transferring to a wire rack. They will become perfectly chewy once cooled.
