Ultimate Vegan Chocolate Chip Marshmallow Cookies

Why You'll Love These Chocolate Chip Marshmallow Cookies

Chocolate Chip Cookies are a universal favorite, but when you add gooey marshmallows to the mix, they become irresistible! These soft, chewy cookies have the rich flavor of chocolate brownies, complemented by the perfect sweetness of caramelized marshmallows. Every bite will remind you of Rocky Road Cookies or S'mores-minus the graham crackers!

Stuffing marshmallows in eggless Chocolate Chip Cookies is a game-changer-it's like baking hot chocolate into cookie form! The marshmallows in Chocolate Chip Cookies add a delightful texture, while the fudge-like cookie base creates a nostalgic and satisfying treat. These easy fudge cookies have a rich, buttery flavor with a hint of vanilla. The texture is perfection: crispy on the outside, chewy on the inside, with melty chocolate chunks and caramelized marshmallows scattered throughout.

For me, these Double Chocolate Chip Marshmallow Cookies strike the ideal balance of texture, flavor, size, and appearance. They're fresh, indulgent, and utterly irresistible-perfect for anyone looking to elevate their cookie game! On top of that, these Hot Chocolate Marshmallow Cookies are completely vegan!

Flour: I've used all-purpose flour as the base for these Double Chocolate Chip and Marshmallow Cookies. Self-raising flour or bread flour can also be substituted for varied textures.

Cocoa Powder: Use cocoa powder or cacao powder to achieve a rich chocolate flavor. Mixing equal parts of cocoa and hot chocolate powder adds a unique twist to this easy vegan cookie recipe.

Butter: Salted or unsalted Vegan butter in stick form (like Miyoko's, Violife, Earth Balance, or Country Crock Plant Butter) is ideal for creaming with sugar and ensuring stability. A 50:50 mix of butter and oil also works.

Sugar: In this chocolate marshmallow cookie recipe, I've used brown sugar for a chewier texture. While white granulated sugar results in crispier cookies, brown sugar adds softness. You can also combine equal parts of both to create a perfect balance of textures.

Milk: Any dairy-free milk, such as almond milk, oat milk, or soy milk, works well to keep the S'mores Cookie recipe vegan.

Mini Marshmallows: Plain vegan mini marshmallows, like Dandies, are gelatine-free and soften beautifully when baked. They add texture without melting and can be used in other recipes, such as Strawberry Ice Cream and Raspberry Hot Chocolate.

Chocolate Chips: High-quality chocolate chips, such as Nestle Tollhouse, Godiva, or Ghirardelli, enhance the flavor. Dark, bittersweet, or white chocolate chips can be used, as long as they're dairy-free. Mini chips ensure even distribution.

Other Ingredients: Salt balances sweetness, vanilla extract adds warmth and baking powder serves as a leavening agent to improve texture.

1. In a mixing bowl, start by adding softened butter. Using butter at room temperature ensures it emulsifies with the sugars more evenly, creating a light texture that significantly impacts the structure of the Marshmallow Cookies.
2. Next, add the brown sugar to the butter.
3. Whisk the mixture together until it becomes light and creamy. You can also use an electric beater if whisking manually feels tedious.
4. Once the butter and sugar are creamed, add all the dry ingredients-specifically, all-purpose flour, salt, and baking powder. There's no need to sieve them beforehand, as they will combine thoroughly during mixing.

5. Add cocoa powder to the dry ingredients in the mixing bowl.
6. Next, incorporate vanilla extract and milk into the mixture.
7. Combine everything to form a soft dough. Ensure the dough is not runny-add milk gradually, only if needed, to achieve the right consistency.
8. Finally, fold in the vegan mini marshmallows and chocolate chips, evenly distributing them throughout the dough.

9. Fold the marshmallows and chocolate chips evenly into the cookie dough. Place the mixing bowl in the freezer for 10 minutes or refrigerate for 30 minutes (longer chilling enhances both flavor and texture). Chilling also makes the dough easier to handle.
10. While the dough chills, preheat the oven to 375°F. Line a baking tray/cookie sheet/baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent sticking and ensure even baking.
11. Divide the chilled dough into medium-sized balls, then gently press each into thick discs. To ensure uniformity, use a weighing scale for accuracy. Arrange the discs on the baking tray, leaving enough space for them to spread slightly while baking. Chef tip: Place additional chocolate chips and marshmallows on top of each cookie disc for an enticing appearance. You can also refrigerate or freeze the shaped cookie dough at this stage if needed.
12. Bake the cookies in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes, depending on your oven. Keep the tray on the middle rack for the best results. Avoid overbaking-these cookies should remain slightly soft in the center. Once baked, remove the tray from the oven and let the vegan cookies cool for about 10 minutes. This resting time allows them to firm up, as they will be delicate and prone to breaking when warm.

Add a finishing touch to these Vegan Chocolate Chip Marshmallow Cookies by dabbing a bit of melted chocolate, peanut butter, or marshmallow fluff on top before serving if you want. A light sprinkle of sea salt takes the flavor to another level, balancing the sweetness perfectly. These gooey, Chocolate Chip Cookies with Marshmallows are indulgence at their best, and trust me, you won't stop at just one.

These S'mores Chocolate Chip Cookies are dangerously addictive and perfect for any occasion. Whether you're sharing them with friends who love easy baking or indulging in a quick treat for yourself, these cookies hit the spot.
