Another holiday, another excuse for Enjoy Life to create some more kid-friendly recipes like these Cookie Monsters (okay, adults like them, too!).
Per standard for Enjoy Life, this recipe idea is top allergen-free. It uses a few of their ingredients, including those super-awesome soft baked cookies. Seriously, those little gems are in a league all their own (especially the Snickerdoodle, which are also available under the Trader Joe’s label). Plus, the tender, chewy texture makes them very easy to use in fun recipes like these cookie monsters.
Special Diet Notes: Cookie Monsters
By ingredients, this recipe is dairy-free / non-dairy, egg-free, gluten-free, nut-free, peanut-free, soy-free, vegan / plant-based, vegetarian, and generally food allergy-friendly. That is if you use the Enjoy Life brand to make these cookie monsters. Other brands may contain one or more allergens.
- 1 6-ounce bag top allergen-free trail mix (preferable with chocolate chips
- 1 10-ounce box allergy-friendly crispy rice cereal
- 2 6-ounce boxes soft baked top allergen-free cookies (any flavor)
- Empty trail mix and cereal into separate small bowls.
- Take one cookie and turn it upside down, then stack the other on top so the flat sides are on the inside. Pinch them together in the back.
- Take cereal and components from the trail mix (pumpkin seeds, sunflower seeds, raisins, chocolate chips, apple pieces and cranberries), and decorate to resemble monsters.
- May be stored covered with plastic wrap up to 4 days.
