Equipment

  • Stand or Electric Mixer Optional
  • Mixing Bowls
  • Baking Sheets
  • Cooling Rack

Ingredients

  • 2 tbsp Ground Flaxseed
  • 6 tbsp Water
  • 1 cup Plant-Based Butter
  • 2 cups Brown Sugar
  • 1 cup Natural Creamy Peanut Butter
  • 3 tsp Vanilla Extract or Vanilla Bean Extract
  • 2 cups All-Purpose Flour 1:1 Gluten-free Flour if needed
  • 2 cups Rolled Oats Gluten-free if needed
  • 2 tsp Baking Soad
  • 1 tsp Cinnanom
  • 1 tsp Sea Salt Use ½ tsp if your peanut butter has salt
  • 1 cup Plant-Based M&M Style Candies
  • 1 cup Dark Chocolate Chips

Instructions

  • Combine ground flaxseed and water in a small bowl. Set aside for 10 minutes to let the mixture to gel and create your flax egg. Preheat the oven to 350℉. Line two large baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone baking mats.
  • Add the softened butter to the mixer or mixing bowl and cream for 2 to 3 minutes. Next, add the brown sugar and beat until fluffy, about another 2 to 3 minutes. Next, add in the peanut butter, vanilla, and flax egg, and mix until combined. Add the flax egg and vanilla extract. Cream together until combined.
  • Add all-purpose flour, rolled oats, baking soda, cinnamon, and salt to the bowl. Mix the ingredients together until the flour is evenly incorporated. Add M&M style candies and chocolate chips, and gently mix together.
  • Using a cookie scoop or spoon, scoop the cookie dough into about 12 cookie dough balls. Transfer cookie dough to the baking sheets.
  • Bake cookies for 15 minutes, or until the edges are light golden-brown and the center is still gooey. Remove cookies from the oven while they appear slightly underbaked. They will de-puff, continue to cook, and firm up while cooling. Let the cookies cool on the baking rack for 2 minutes before moving them to a cooling rack to fully cool. Allow cookies to cool before devouring. Enjoy!
  • Storage Instructions: Store Monster Cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 4 days. For longer storage, freeze baked cookies for up to 3 months.
