Ingredients

• 0.5 cup Unsalted butter, softened
• 1 cup Creamy peanut butter
• 0.75 cup Granulated sugar
• 0.75 cup Brown sugar, packed
• 2 Large eggs
• 1 teaspoon Pure vanilla extract
• 1 teaspoon Baking soda
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 3 cups Old-fashioned rolled oats (certified gluten-free)
• 1 cup Semisweet chocolate chips
• 1 cup Mini M&Ms (or regular M&Ms)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line two large baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone baking mats and set aside.

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, use an electric mixer to cream together the softened butter, peanut butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.

Step 3

Add the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract.

Step 4

In a separate small bowl, whisk together the baking soda and salt. Add this mixture to the wet ingredients and mix until just combined.

Step 5

With the mixer on low speed, gradually add in the oats, a little at a time, until fully incorporated.

Step 6

Fold in the chocolate chips and M&Ms with a spatula until evenly distributed throughout the dough.

Step 7

Scoop out heaping tablespoons of dough and roll them into balls. Place the balls about 2 inches apart on the prepared baking sheets, as the cookies will spread slightly while baking.

Step 8

Flatten each ball slightly with the palm of your hand or the back of a spoon to form disks.

Step 9

Bake the cookies one sheet at a time in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are set and lightly golden. The centers will look slightly underbaked—that’s okay, as they will continue to set as they cool.

Step 10

Remove the cookies from the oven and allow them to cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Step 11

Serve and enjoy your Gluten Free Monster Cookies with a glass of your favorite milk or non-dairy alternative. Store any leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days.
