idk about you but i need a cookie or two pretty frequently in my life. these are the best cookies to have on hand! you can freeze Healthier Vegan Monster Cookies and then just warm them up when you want to snack!
if you really want to get fancy, buy your favorite ice cream and crumble a couple monster cookies on top…but don’t stop there! a generous drizzle of peanut butter toooooo and DANG.
monster cookies are so flippin’ good and were one of my favorite kinds of cookies before going vegan, but i had yet to find any good vegan ones! aaaand what do we do? take it upon ourselves to make our own.
forget the bakery, these are it. they are legit and taste like typical cookies you would find at a cafe or bakery, i really got the texture right in my opinion.
these healthier vegan monster cookies are:
made a video for you below, yay! thinking that it’s going to have to be a reel posted to IG! love showing you the process and based on your feedback, you love it too!
just nice to see what goes into making something and can help clarify confusion when it comes to the prep process!
so on top of the candy eminem-like things lol (brand is Unreal), i added some chocolate chips just for decor on top! now, i sort of wish that i would of included some in the batter too! that’s ok, next time.
i happened to use salted almond butter from Trader Joe’s but use whatever the heck you have on hand. peanut butter would be just as good….dare i say, better?!
just make sure whatever you use is on the RUNNY side! this is important because there isn’t any almond milk or anything.
my recipe made 10 small-medium cookies. i would say i used about 3 tbsp worth of dough, slightly flattened and then baked for 12 minutes.
depending on the size of yours, ten minutes might be better or if they’re large, 14 minutes! start with 10 and take it from there.

Thanks for these amazing recipes! I made these for Sunday night snack time! I didn’t have the Trader Joe’s GF flour so I had to substitute Bob’s Red Mill variety. I used Vegan chocolate chips only and PB instead of Almond Butter. Worked out beautifully, as always with your recipes! Whenever I need a great vegan dessert, I very often visit your webpage. ??
ah love to hear it thanks Brenda!!
