If you’re looking for some good sweets to serve for Easter that everyone will love, these monster cookies are it. They are perfectly pastel for Easter, they taste so good, they are gluten free, and they are “healthier” than most cookies. You can honestly make them even lighter by swapping out other things too. I use Enjoy Life chocolate chocolate chips that are dairy free and semi-sweet. I use Kerrygold irish butter. And I use cashew butter that has no sugar or other sweeteners added. I also don’t add any sugar into the cookies (but of course the M&Ms and chocolate already have sugar in them.)
After you make the mixture, I recommend tasting them and see how you think it tastes. You can always tweak them and make them sweeter, thicker or softer because everyone’s tastes are different. These have been tested in our house and all the kids love them too! Even Matt loves them. I have made them for several get togethers, and they are always a hit. They’re also so quick and easy to make. It only takes 7 minutes to bake them!
Check out the monster cookies recipe below and let me know if you end up making them. I would love to hear how you like them and if you tweaked them any. Will you be doing any cooking or baking for Easter? What are your must-have Easter foods?
