Allergy-Friendly Halloween Monster Cookies
These Allergy-Friendly Halloween Monster Cookies are vegan, nut-free, and easy to make gluten-free. They're a scary-FUN treat for everyone to enjoy!
Equipment
- Parchment paper (optional)
- Cookie scoop (optional)
- 3 mixing bowls
Ingredients
- 1 ½ cup all-purpose flour
- ¾ cup sugar*
- ⅓ cup canola oil
- ¼ cup plant milk
- 1 tsp baking powder
- ½ tsp baking soda
- ¼ tsp salt
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 8-10 drops each 3 different food colorings
- ¼ cup dairy-free candy coated chocolates
- ¼ cup candy eyes different sizes if desired
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit.
- In a large mixing bowl, add the oil, plant milk, vanilla extract, and sugar. Mix until the sugar begins to dissolve.
- Add in the flour, baking soda, baking powder, and salt. Mix until the dough is cohesive enough to form balls, but not too wet.
- Separate the dough into 3 separate bowls then add 8-10 drops of different food colorings into each bowl. Mix the dough until the coloring is evenly distributed.
- Using a cookie scoop or spoon, portion the dough into small balls and place on a parchment-lined baking sheet. I use a smaller scoop for this recipe to get more cookies, and I usually get about 24 cookies, 8 per color.
- Add 2-3 chocolate candies per cookie pressing slightly into the dough ball.
- Bake at 350 F for 13-16 minutes or until the cookies are slightly golden brown.
- Remove the cookies from the oven and immediately press several different sized candy eyes into each cookie.
- Allow the cookies to cool fully on the baking sheet. Enjoy!
Notes
*A note about granulated sugar: Not all granulated sugar is vegan, make sure to choose a USDA Organic variety to ensure it is not processed with bone char, an animal ingredient.
- Not vegan? Use dairy milk instead of plant milk or use melted butter instead of oil.
- Gluten-free? Swap for a 1:1 gluten-free baking flour replacement.
