Gluten Free Monster Cookies
No need to refrigerate the dough makes these monster cookies quick and easy to make.
Servings: 2 dozen
Ingredients
- ½ cup unsalted butter, room temperature (1 stick)
- ½ cup light brown sugar
- ½ cup white sugar
- 1 large egg
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- ½ cup creamy peanut butter
- ½ cup (38 grams) gluten free flour blend
- ½ teaspoon baking soda
- ½ teaspoon Kosher salt
- 1 ½ cup gluten free rolled oats
- 3 oz. bag of M&M's
- ½ cup chocolate chips
Optional:
- ¼ cup broken gluten free pretzel pieces
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350° F. Prepare 2 baking sheets by lining with a silicon mat or parchment paper.
- In a stand mixer (or by hand), cream the butter for 1-2 minutes until fluffy. Add both the brown and white sugars and combine. Add the egg, vanilla and peanut butter and stir until mixed.
- Add gluten free flour, baking soda and salt until mixed. Add in oats, M&M's and chocolate chips (and the pretzels if desired), gently mixing in until combined.
- Place about a golf ball sized (~2 Tbs) of dough on prepared baking sheet, leaving about 2 inches in between each ball.
- Bake for 9-10 minutes. The cookies will be slightly golden brown. Remove from oven and allow to sit on the cookie sheet for a few minutes before transferring to a cooling rack. Store any leftovers in an airtight container.
