Gluten Free Monster Cookies

Who doesn’t love gluten free monster cookies, especially when they are chewy and they look as good as they taste (usually).
I made a big mistake in this recipe, yet I’ll fill you in so you don’t make it, too.

Ingredients

  • 2/3 cup of salted butter
  • 2 cups of brown sugar
  • 1 1/3 cups of white sugar
  • 4 eggs
  • 1 1/2 teaspoon of baking soda
  • 1 tablespoon of vanilla and agave syrup
  • 2 cups of crunchy peanut butter
  • 6 cups of gluten free oats
  • 1 cup of chocolate chips and M&Ms

Instructions

  • First - gather your ingredients!
  • Cream the butter and the sugars together. Add in the eggs. Mix well.
  • Then, add in the baking soda, vanilla, and agave. Mix well.
  • Add in the peanut butter and then slowly add in the oats one cup at a time. Mix well. Stir in the chocolate chips.
  • Then, lay out the mixture in a very large baking sheet, or in a 9x13 glass pan - be sure the sheet cookie has room to expand (this was my error). Top with the M&Ms. Bake at 350 degrees for 25-30 minutes.
  • Okay - my mess. What happened is I used a small pan - and the sheet cookie was expanding over the edge, making a huge mess in my oven. Augh. What to do. I grabbed my 9x13 baking dish, took out the pan and pushed everything into a big bowl. I stirred it up (even though it was already 1/2 baked) and then pressed it into the 9x13 pan and continued baking it. Turned out to be really good, just didn't look like a traditional monster cookie.
  • Done! Even after that little (or big) mess, the monster cookies were still great!
