Tastes like a cookie, but filled with better ingredients.
Mostly. Don't count the M&M's.
Since our daughter is dairy free, so is this recipe. It's also really easy to make this one gluten free if you so choose. (Variation included below.) And, because I think that if you are going to take the worthy effort to bake, you should always make extra - I would suggest one of the following:
- Make up an extra baggie or two of the dry ingredients. Print up the recipe and put it inside the baggie. Next time you are craving home baked goodness you are already partway done!
- Make up an entire addtional batch, but don't bake them. Instead, place the unbaked monster cookies on a wax paper lined baking sheet. No need for spacing - just pack them on there. Freeze them until solidly frozen. Pop them off and into a freezer bag. Now you can easily bake one at time - or the whole batch - with total ease! You'll be so glad you planned ahead.
Yum.
Wet ingredients
• 2 Eggs OR 1 egg and ½ cup applesauce• 1/2 cup Peanut butter, creamy

Directions
Mix dry ingredients
together in one bowl and wet ingredients in another.
Combine. If the mix is too dry to hold together in a
cookie shape, add more almond milk (or milk) until it does. Scoop onto cookie sheet with the ¼ cup scoop.
Bake at 350 for 12-15 minutes.
Note: If you can't help but eat the dough - go ahead if you used the applesauce instead of eggs! :-)
