Ready to get baking? Let’s get to it! Follow these super simple steps:
-
In a bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Set it aside.
-
In another bowl, cream the room temperature vegan butter with brown and white sugar until smooth and creamy. Then, add the flax egg and vanilla, mixing until combined.
-
Pour the dry ingredients into the wet and mix until just combined.
-
Fold in 1/2 cup of chopped graham crackers, 1/2 cup of mini marshmallows, and chocolate chips until they’re evenly distributed.
-
Place the dough in the fridge to chill for one hour. While waiting, preheat your oven to 350°F.
-
Scoop 2 tablespoons of dough, roll into balls, and place them 2 inches apart on a baking sheet. Top with a few extra chocolate chips!
-
Bake for 9 minutes, then remove them but keep the oven on. Add the remaining marshmallows and graham cracker chunks to the tops, then pop them back in the oven for another 3-4 minutes until gently golden.
-
Cool on the pan for 5-10 minutes, then transfer to a cooling rack. Enjoy when cool enough to touch!
How to make Vegan S’mores Cookies (Overview)
Making these beauties is like bringing a little bit of campfire magic into your home. Start by mixing the dry ingredients and letting them chill in the fridge — this is where the magic happens! Once you’re ready to bake, the dough transforms from a simple mixture into golden, crispy-on-the-edges, soft-in-the-middle cookies. And just like that, you’ll have the perfect treat ready to wow your family and friends. Pro tip: Don’t skip chilling the dough; it really helps with the texture!
How to serve Vegan S’mores Cookies
The best part about these cookies? They hold their own or can be fancied up a bit! Serve them warm with a glass of plant-based milk or layer them with a scoop of vanilla or chocolate dairy-free ice cream 🍦. Picture a melty cookie sandwich — that’s dessert-level genius right there! The crunchy graham crackers against the gooey marshmallows create a delightful flavor and texture contrast.
How to store Vegan S’mores Cookies
These cookies can last up to a week when stored in an airtight container at room temperature. For longer storage, pop them in the fridge for up to two weeks or freeze them for even longer. For reheating, just give them a quick zap in the microwave for a few seconds to bring back that gooey goodness.
Tips to make Vegan S’mores Cookies
- Use cold butter for a chewier texture, or let it sit out until it’s super soft for meltier cookies.
- Experiment with flavors — add a splash of almond extract for a fun twist!
- If you want to skip the flax egg, you can use a store-bought egg replacer — it works wonders, my friend!
