Ingredients
Scale
Dry Ingredients
- 2 cups Flour (You can swap with almond or gluten-free flour for a healthy twist.)
- 1/2 cup Cocoa Powder (Use unsweetened for the best results.)
- 1 cup Sugar (Consider coconut sugar for a lower-glycemic option.)
- 1 teaspoon Baking Soda (Make sure it’s fresh for optimal rise.)
- 1/2 teaspoon Salt (Sea salt or kosher salt work beautifully here.)
Wet Ingredients
- 1/2 cup Oil (Opt for melted coconut oil for a delightful hint of coconut.)
- 1/2 cup Plant-based Milk (Almond or soy milk are excellent choices.)
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla Extract (Opt for pure extract for the best taste.)
Add-ins and Toppings
- 1 cup Vegan Marshmallows (Check your local health store for options.)
- 1/2 cup Chocolate Chips (Use dark chocolate for a vegan-friendly treat.)
- 1 tablespoon Powdered Sugar (Optional, adds a touch of elegance.)
- 1/4 cup Chocolate Drizzle (Melt vegan chocolate chips for presentation.)
Instructions
- Mix Dry Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour, cocoa powder, sugar, baking soda, and salt. Stir until well blended to ensure even distribution of all dry components.
- Combine Wet Ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together the melted oil and plant-based milk until smooth. This helps create a uniform liquid base for the dough.
- Form Dough: Pour the wet mixture into the dry ingredients, stirring gently until a cohesive dough forms. Avoid overmixing to keep the cookies tender.
- Preheat Oven and Portion Dough: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Use a cookie scoop to portion out the dough onto a lined baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart to allow for spreading.
- Bake Cookies: Bake the cookies for 10-12 minutes, then remove them from the oven. Immediately place a vegan marshmallow on top of each cookie and return to the oven for an additional 2-3 minutes to melt the marshmallows slightly.
- Cool and Finish: Let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes to firm up, then transfer them to a wire rack. Drizzle melted vegan chocolate over the cookies and dust with powdered sugar if desired for an elegant finish.
Notes
- You can substitute regular flour with almond or gluten-free flour for dietary preferences.
- Use unsweetened cocoa powder and dark chocolate chips to keep the recipe dairy-free and vegan-friendly.
- Make sure the baking soda is fresh to achieve the best rise and texture.
- Space cookies adequately on the baking sheet to prevent them from merging during baking.
- For a more intense coconut flavor, use melted coconut oil instead of other vegetable oils.
- Allow cookies to cool properly before drizzling chocolate to prevent melting and streaking.
