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!
One of the best parts about these Monster Mash cookies is that they can be customized to fit any theme year round! See some of my favorites below!
