Gluten Free Monster Cookies
Monster Cookie Dough!
I found this recipe online on SparkRecipe. Here is the original link http://recipes.sparkpeople.com/recipe-detail.asp?recipe=348298. I’ve also pasted the recipe below and added the modifications I made to the recipe which worked out great! I was looking for something that was similar to the monster cookies my mom used to make us pre gluten free diet and this fit the bill perfectly. Instead of just m&m’s I added some unsalted peanuts, some butterscotch chips and some peanut butter m&ms (this may not work for the gluten free version but other gluten free ingredients and candies could be substituted like nuts and raisins) .
Monster Cookies!
3 large eggs
8 TBS whipped butter
1.25 C Brown Sugar
1 C Sugar
.5 Tsp Salt
1 Tsp Vanilla
12 oz. smooth peanut butter
2 tsp. baking soda.
1 C M&Ms, 1/2 C peanuts, 1/2 C peanut butter m&m’s, and 1/2cup butterscotch chips (check to make sure ingredients are gluten free and use nuts and raisins or other GF candies as substitutes where necessary for the GF version).
4.5 C GF oats (regular oats can be used if you don’t care about the gluten)
In a big mixing bowl, cream eggs and sugars til smooth.
Add salt, vanilla, peanut butter, and butter and mix well.
Stir in baking soda, oats and m&ms.
You can use chocolate chips, raisins, nuts, etc. instead of the M&Ms.
The batter will be sticky and you’ll need to be deliberate about making sure the M&Ms don’t slide off each cookie as you drop by teaspoonfuls onto cookie sheet.
Bake at 350 for 10 minutes or so.
Makes about 6 doz 2″ cookies.
Number of Servings: 72
