GF Healthier Peanut M&M Cookies
Cookie dough may seem like an odd recipe to include in a meal prep series, but for me, this is my ULTIMATE meal prep recipe. I love to make a batch of cookie dough on Sundays and then have fresh cookies throughout the week. I love that this treat 10 minutes to bake on hectic weeknights and that I can enjoy it with a cup of my Sleepy Time Tea.
This particular recipe is great because it is Gluten Free. I also LOVE peanut M&Ms, but don’t love the artificial dyes that they have in them. When I discovered that Unreal made Dark Chocolate Peanut Gems I knew that I had to create a recipe with them. This recipe is in no way sponsored, but I am a huge fan of Unreal as a brand and trust them as a healthier alternative to some other brands.
The key to cookies is baking them to a point where they are done, but still soft. It can be really easy to overbake cookies, but these will be plenty done after 10 minutes in a 350F oven. Also, make sure that all of your cookie dough balls are the same size. It doesn’t really matter how big you make them, as long as the size is consistent throughout the batch.
Happy Baking!
