Ingredients
  

  • 1 ¼ cup gluten free flour blend * see note
  • ¾ cup almond flour * see note
  • 1 cup brown sugar
  • 2 large eggs
  • ½ teaspoon baking powder
  • dash salt
  • ½ cup unsalted butter * see note
  • 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
  • ¾ cup Plain M&M's * see note

Instructions
 

  • Preheat the oven to 350º F. Set the oven rack to the middle setting
  • In a large bowl, add dry ingredients and use a wire whisk to blend.
  • In a small bowl, add your wet ingredients and whisk to blend them together.
  • Combine the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and mix well. Add in your M&Ms and other mix-ins and mix.
  • Note, you can use a standing mixer with a paddle attachment to mix your cookie dough, but hand mix the M&Ms into the dough so they don't get broken up.
  • For large cookies, use an ice cream scoop to drop large round dough balls onto a greased cookie sheet. Otherwise, use a medium size cookie scoop.
  • Bake 10-12 minutes until done. The actual baking time will vary depending on the size of cookies you are making.
  • Use a spatula to remove cookies from baking sheet onto a wire cooling rack.
  • Enjoy!

Notes

  1. I have tested this recipe with King Arthur Measure for Measure GF and Bob's Red Mill 1 to 1 GF blend. That doesn't mean others will not work, I just have not tested other flours.
  2. If your gluten free flour blend doesn’t contain xanthan gum or guar gum, please add 1 teaspoon.
  3. I highly suggest using almond flour and not almond meal. Almond meal is more coarse and will make your cookies grainy.
  4. To make this recipe dairy-free, substitute the butter for vegan butter. Also, be sure to use a dairy-free M&M copycat like Choco No-Nos brand.
  5. Feel free to use any mix-in like chocolate chips, chopped nuts, or raisins.
  6. These cookies will keep up to 4 days in an air-tight container, or up to 3 months in the freezer.

SPECIAL NOTE

Please know that every gluten free flour blend has a different starch to grain ratio. If you use a blend I didn't test, you may need to adjust your moisture levels in your baked goods.
