Ingredients
(links below are the gluten free & celiac safe products I used in this recipe)
- 1/4 cup ghee
- 3/4 cup natural creamy “drippy” peanut butter
- 1/4 cup + 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
- 3/4 cup packed dark brown sugar
- 2 eggs
- 1 1/2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoon molasses
- 1 1/2 cups gluten free old fashioned rolled oats
- 1/2 cup gluten free 1:1 flour
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon fine sea salt
- 1/2 cup semisweet chocolate chips
- 1/2 cup M&M’s candies, plus more for topping cookies
- flaky sea salt
Instructions
step 1
Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Line a baking sheet with a sheet of parchment paper. Set aside.
step 2
In the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, add the ghee, peanut butter, and both sugars. Mix on medium speed for about 2 minutes until creamy. Add the eggs, vanilla extract, and molasses. Mix on low speed until well combined.
step 3
In a medium bowl, whisk together the gluten free oats, gluten free flour, baking soda, and salt.
step 4
With the mixer on low speed, add the flour/oat mixture and mix until just combined. Add the chocolate chips and M&M’s and pulse to combine.
step 5
Using a #24 cookie scoop, scoop cookie dough onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart. Flatten each dough ball with the palm of your hand while still keeping the cookies nice and round. They should be about 1/2 inch thick.
step 6
Bake for 10 to 13 minutes or until the cookies are lightly browned around the edges. Remove from the oven and gently place a few extra M&M’s on top of each cookie then sprinkle with flaky sea salt. Let cookies cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
