Gluten Free Monster Mash Cookies (Edit recipe)

Does anyone remember the days of wondering why your halloween candy bag was magically getting smaller and smaller? (Yes mom and dad, I know about your sneakiness). Well my Gluten Free Monster Mash cookies are so dang good that they are going to be disappearing before your very eyes just like the candy in your trick-or-treat bag! For my "halloween in a cookie" mash up, I've chosen to go with some of my favorites -- M&Ms, peanut butter chips, Reese's white chocolate peanut butter cups, and gluten free pretzels! Nothing disappeared faster in my home than m&ms and peanut butter cups and so I knew they had to be the star of this cookie! Feel free to use your favorite chocolates (or halloween treats you missed out on) when making these cookies!

Process

Note, these instructions are written assuming the standard serving size, since you have modified the number of servings, these steps may need to be modified for best results

Preheat your oven to 350F.
Combine flour, almond flour, cornstarch, baking soda, xanthan gum, and salt in a bowl.
In a separate bowl beat egg, melted butter, vanilla, and sugar until light in color and fluffy.
Gradually add dry ingredients to wet ingredients being careful to not over mix.
Gently fold in m&ms, pb chips, Reese’s, and pretzels.
Use a cookie scoop to drop cookie dough onto your baking sheet that is lined with parchment paper.
Bake for 11-13 minutes. Let the cookies rest on the pan for 10 minutes and then move to a cooling rack.

Notes

One of the best parts about these Monster Mash cookies is that they can be customized to fit any theme year round or to include any of your favorite mix-ins! I have made a Christmas version with Green & Red M&Ms, a Valentine's Day version with pink sprinkles, and a Fourth of July version with potato chips! Be creative!
