S'mores Cookies
Summer In a Cookie
Is there anything better than s’mores in the summer? I truly don’t think there is. These chocolate marshmallow cookies remind me a lot of s’mores and definitely did not disappoint taste wise.
If you wanted these to be more like s’mores, you could add crushed graham crackers or any type of crushed cracker. I’d recommend about 1/3 cup. For the chocolate and marshmallow measurements I added in the recipe, these are just suggestions. You can add as many or as little as you want.
The base of this cookie recipe can really be used for any add-ins. The recipe works so well and always comes out tasting delicious.
Vegan butter: any vegan butter of your preference will work. Be sure it is MELTED. Oil could also work in place of butter; however, I wouldn’t recommend that. The butter always makes the cookies turn out a lot better and chewier. If you aren’t vegan traditional butter should also work.
Coconut sugar: you can use brown sugar instead. Be sure if you are replacing the coconut sugar to replace it with a dark sugar.
White sugar: you can use any white granulated sugar such as stevia or monk fruit. These shouldn’t affect the texture; however, they may affect the taste.
Chocolate: any chocolate will work. You can chop a chocolate bar, use a mix of different chocolate chips, etc.
Marshmallows: vegan marshmallows can be hard to find. I always buy mine at Whole Foods. Amazon also has some. Be sure to always check the ingredients as a lot of marshmallows contain gelatin.
TIP: when measuring flour its super easy to do it the wrong way. Measuring flour incorrectly could lead to your cookies not turning out right. The best way to measure the flour is to use a spoon and scoop the flour into the measuring cup. Scrap off the excess at the top with the backside of a knife.

Allow the cookies to cool for at least an additional 20 minutes before eating. As they are cooling, they are still cooking and becoming the perfect texture.
