These Vegan Monster cookies are my take on a classic recipe that I always loved as a kid! They're sweet while being both soft and crunchy and I know you're going to love them!

Ingredients

½ cup vegan butter softened
¼ cup sugar I like organic cane sugar
½ cup packed light brown sugar
¾ cup natural peanut butter it needs to be the drippy kind
1 flax egg: 1 tablespoon of flaxseed meal + 3 tablespoons of water
1 teaspoon vanilla
1 ¼ cups all purpose flour
½ teaspoon baking soda
½ cup quick cooking oats
½ cup dairy free chocolate chips I love dark chocolate in these
¾ cup chocolate candy check to be sure it's vegan*

Instructions

Pre-heat the oven to 350 degrees F and line 2 large baking sheets with parchment paper.
In the bowl of a standmixer (or in a large bowl with an electric whisk) cream together the butter and sugars. This will take about a minute.
Mix in the peanut butter, flax egg, and vanilla and mix until just combined. With the mixer running, slowly add in the flour and baking soda. Mix until the flour is JUST incorporated.
Add in the oats, chocolate chips, and chocolate candy and mix on low until just mixed together.
Chill for 20 minutes. The dough will be quite crumbly but will hold together when rolled and patted together.
Once done chilling, take heaping tablespoons of the dough and roll/ pat it into 1/2 inch thick disks. The cookies will not separate AT ALL so you want to mold them into the size that you want them to end up as (see video for clarification). Place on prepared baking sheet(s).
Bake for 9-12 minutes or until the bottoms of the cookies just begin to turn a light brown. Let cool for 12 minutes and ENJOY!

Notes

If you can't find vegan m&ms, feel free to use additional chocolate chips. I used THESE vegan gems
