Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup organic grass-fed butter, melted
  • 1/2 cup organic coconut palm sugar
  • 1/3 cup pure maple syrup
  • 2 large organic, pasture-raised eggs
  • 1 cup organic peanut butter no sugar added
  • 1 tsp pure vanilla extract
  • 3 cups Bob's Red Mill gluten-free rolled oats
  • 1/4 tsp baking soda
  • 1 tsp. baking powder
  • 1/4 cup unsweetened shredded coconut
  • 3/4 cup chocolate chips
  • 3/4 cup favorite add-ins or more chocolate chips

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 350° F. Line two cookie sheets with unbleached parchment paper.
  • In a large mixing bowl, combine the melted butter, eggs, coconut sugar, maple syrup, and peanut butter. Mix well, using hand held beaters or a spatula.
  • Next, add the vanilla, baking soda, baking powder, and oats. Beat or stir these in well. Once your batter is thoroughly mixed, add in the chocolate chips, shredded coconut, and any other extras you desire. Mix thoroughly.
  • Use a cookie scoop or tablespoon to scoop out the cookies. Two heaping scoops are needed to get the cookies to monster status.
  • Gently spread the cookie dough to form a circle on the baking sheet. They don't need to be too flat, as they will spread and rise slightly while baking. I fit about 6 cookies on a large sheet pan.
  • Bake for 10-12 minutes or until brown around the edges. Let cool for 5 minutes before moving to a cooling rack. Enjoy!
