Gluten Free Monster Cookie Bars

Sometimes cookies are just a pain to make, ya know? Like, I’m craving them but I don’t want to spend the time scooping them individually onto a baking sheet. Waiting for them to cook, placing them each on the cooling rack. Only to have to bake another batch!

My answer to this is make your cookies into bars. It’s such a time saver and turns your cookies into a thick chewy brownie!

Not exactly sure where the name “Monster” came from but I’m sure it has to do with the monster amount of mix ins that are added! You can really add in any kind of chocolate chip, candies, nuts or seeds you like. But for me the “UNREAL Dark Chocolate Quinoa Gems” are a cleaner ingredient alternative and I appreciate that.

These cookie bars are also great to make because they can be wrapped individually and stored in the freezer. Believe me, if you don’t hide them for later, they will be gone in one day!

Make sure to leave me a comment below and tell me what you added to your Gluten Free Monster Cookie Bars!!!

Many Hugs,
