Need an Easy Gluten Free Monster Cookies Recipe? Heres a Simple Guide, Just Follow Along
Hey everyone, it’s your girl back with another kitchen adventure! Today, we’re diving into the world of gluten-free baking with a recipe that’s sure to be a hit: Monster Cookies. I’ve been trying to cut back on gluten, and let me tell you, finding good recipes can be a real struggle. But these cookies? They’re a game-changer.
So, I started by grabbing my ingredients. First up, unsalted butter. I made sure it was at room temperature. It is important that this will mix better with the sugars later. Speaking of sugar, I grabbed both granulated and brown sugar. Then, the star of the show, peanut butter. I used the regular, creamy kind, because why not?
Next, I needed some eggs, vanilla extract, and gluten-free flour blend. I also tossed in some baking soda, salt, and a whole bunch of oats. Gluten-free, of course! And because no monster cookie is complete without some fun stuff, I grabbed a bag of M&M’s and some chocolate chips.
Let’s Get Baking!
I preheated my oven to 350°F and lined a couple of baking sheets with parchment paper. Then, in my trusty stand mixer, I creamed together the butter and sugars until they were all light and fluffy. This took a few minutes, but it’s worth it for that perfect cookie texture.
Once that was done, I mixed in the eggs one at a time, followed by the vanilla extract. Then, I added the peanut butter and mixed until everything was well combined. In a separate bowl, I whisked together the gluten-free flour, baking soda, and salt. Gradually, I added the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Be careful not to overmix!
Now for the fun part: I stirred in the oats, M&M’s, and chocolate chips. I might have snuck a few M&M’s at this point, don’t judge me. Once everything was mixed, I used a cookie scoop to drop rounded tablespoons of dough onto the prepared baking sheets.
I baked them for about 10-12 minutes, or until the edges were golden brown. Once they were done, I let them cool on the baking sheets for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
The Taste Test
Oh. My. Goodness. These cookies are amazing! They’re soft, chewy, and packed with flavor. The peanut butter really shines through, and the M&M’s and chocolate chips add the perfect amount of sweetness. I was seriously impressed with how well they turned out, especially for being gluten-free.
I shared some with my friends, and they couldn’t even tell they were gluten-free! That’s always a win in my book. These cookies are definitely going into my regular rotation. If you’re looking for a delicious, gluten-free treat, you’ve got to try these monster cookies. You won’t be disappointed!
- Pro Tip: If you want to get extra fancy, you can press a few extra M&M’s and chocolate chips onto the tops of the cookies before baking. It makes them look even more irresistible!
And that’s it! Another successful baking adventure in the books. Until next time, happy baking, everyone!
