Ingredients:

You don’t need fancy stuff — just these basics!

2.5 cups flour (see note 1)
1/2 tsp baking soda
1/2 tsp salt
1/2 cup organic light brown sugar (see note 2)
1/4 cup organic cane sugar (see note 2)
1 cup coconut cream or vegan butter (see note 3)
1 cup vegan chocolate chips (see note 4)
9 vegan marshmallows (I use Dandies)
1/3 cup vegan graham crackers (see note 5)
3 oz vegan chocolate bar(s) (see note 6)

Directions

Let’s get baking! Follow these simple steps:

Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (or 190 degrees C).
In a stand mixer or a large bowl, mix the coconut cream or vegan butter with the sugars until combined.
Gradually add the dry ingredients while mixing until you form a thick dough (not too sticky). If it’s too moist, sprinkle in a pinch more flour; if dry, add a touch more coconut cream or butter.
Mix in the chocolate chips until evenly distributed.
For the base, layer a generous third of the cookie dough in a baking dish and press down evenly.
Arrange the marshmallows in even rows (or any style you like!) on top, then place the chocolate pieces over them.
Sprinkle the graham cracker pieces on top of the chocolate.
Cover with the remaining cookie dough. Pro tip: flatten a hunk of dough in your hands to easily spread it over the toppings like a cozy blanket.
Press down on the edges to seal everything in. If desired, press more chocolate and marshmallows into the top.
Bake uncovered in the oven for about 20 minutes. Keep an eye out for lightly browned marshmallows.
Enjoy warm, and pair with a scoop of vegan ice cream for extra indulgence! 🍦
Store covered at room temperature for up to 5 days or in the fridge if you’re worried.

How to Make Vegan S’mores Cookie Bake (Overview)

This bake is as easy as it gets! You literally mix, layer, and pop it in the oven.

Next, build your s’mores layers, making sure to cover them well with cookie dough—don’t forget that gooey center! Pro tip: Get those marshmallows and graham crackers all snug under a cookie blanket for maximum melty goodness.

How to Serve Vegan S’mores Cookie Bake
