Monster Gluten Free Halloween Cookies

Makes 12 Cookies | Gluten Free

INGREDIENTS

1/2 cup seed or nut butter (No Sugar Added)
1/4 cup coconut oil melted and cooled
1/4 cup date syrup
1 teaspoon vanilla
1 egg
1/4 teaspoon sea salt
1/4 teaspoon baking powder
2 Tablespoons ZEGO Plant Protein
1 1/2 cups ZEGO Double Protein Oats
1/2 cup rice crisp cereal
1/4 cup coconut flakes unsweetened (I used toasted coconut flakes)
1/4 cup chocolate chips
OPTIONAL 1/2 cup marshmallow (we used them to top the cookies for eyes) Candy eyes

METHOD

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F
Add the seed or nut butter, coconut oil, date syrup, vanilla, sea salt, and baking powder in the bowl, and mix until well combined.
In the same bowl, add in the dry ingredients. Mix all ingredients until well combined.
Use a cookie scoop. These cookies will not spread much, using wet fingers, press the cookies down. Add a couple of marshmallows on top of each cookie for the eyes.
Bake for 11 minutes. Cookies will look under-baked in the centers; they firm up once cooled. Add candy eyeballs on top of marshmallow for a spooky look.
The gluten free Halloween cookies hold up well at room temperature for a week; they can be frozen or stored in the refrigerator.
