My Gluten Free Monster Mash Cookies were an ode to my parents and all the years they spent sneaking my Halloween candy. Since then, I love coming up with new ways to "load up" my cookies! My Gluten Free Loaded Red, White, & Blue Cookies are an ode to classic American snacks that you'd find at a barbeque, ball game, and everywhere in between. These cookies feature the seasonal Red, White, & Blue M&Ms, potato chips, and peanuts!
Prep Time: 75 minutes Cook Time: 12-14 minutes
Makes 24 cookies
Ingredients:
2 cups Gluten Free All Purpose Flour
½ cup Almond Flour
½ cup Cornstarch
1 ½ tsp Baking Soda
1 tsp Salt
¾ cup Butter, melted
1 tbsp Vanilla
2 Eggs
1 ½ cups Brown Sugar
1 cup Red, White, & Blue M&Ms
1 cup Peanuts
1 cup Potato Chips, crushed
½ cup Mini chocolate chips
Preheat your oven to 350F.
In a medium sized bowl, combine flour, almond flour, cornstarch, baking soda, xanthan gum, and salt in a bowl.
In a separate, larger, 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 red white, & blue M&Ms, peanuts, potato chips, and mini chocolate chips.
Chill your dough for at least an hour before baking.**
Place your cookies 1-2 inches apart on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Bake for 12-14 minutes.
Let the cookies rest on the pan for 10 minutes and then move them to a cooling rack.
*You can use a whisk, hand mixer, or stand mixer for these cookies depending upon preference or what you have.
**I recommend scooping the cookies and then chilling them – it is way easier than trying to scoop chilled dough.
