Gooey Vegan S’mores Cookies

Jump to Recipe·Print Recipe

Campfire fave transformed into a COOKIE! Vegan s’mores cookies stuffed with marshmallows and chocolate. Grain-free and naturally sweetened!

Gooey Vegan S'mores Cookies

SPONSORED BY NATURAL DELIGHTS


Between the mini marshmallows toasted and melted to sticky little blobs, the warm puddles of dark chocolate chip abundantly placed on top and inside, and the sweetest Medjool dates blended right into the batter – I don’t think a cookie more deserving of the title GOOEY has ever been baked.

How To Make Easy Vegan S’mores Cookies

I know it’s summer and it’s hot and you’ve probably committed to no-bake dessert exclusivity for the months of July/August. But I need you to know that I tested and tweaked this recipe five times to make them as EASY as possible (you can prep the dough in the food processor only, no bowls!), as QUICK as possible (no need to chill the dough and only 12 minutes to bake!), and as 1000% deliciously worth your oven efforts as possible.

The Healthy-ish Ingredient Lineup

This recipe is vegan, grain-free, and naturally sweetened thanks to:

  • Medjool dates. Natural Delights Medjool Dates of course, my favorite and the only brand I’ve used for years because they are always fresh and so sweet. Which is why we don’t need any other added sugar, and the cookie flavor is a much richer sort of sweet too.
  • Almond butter. Or any nut/seed butter you like, I’m imagining peanut butter or tahini subbed in and both are very good cookie daydreams. The natural nutty fat in the almond butter makes these cookies easily oil-free too.
  • Flax eggs. To bind the cookies, but note the ratio in the recipe as we are using slightly less water than normal. If not vegan, feel free to sub in one regular egg.
  • Almond milk. Just a little bit to help the dates and almond butter blend to a (mostly smooth) paste. Any variety of non-dairy milk is fine.
  • Almond flour. I tested with oat flour as well and they were just too dry, almond flour makes for a moist, golden, perfectly gooey s’mores cookie.
  • Vanilla, salt, and baking soda.
  • Mini marshmallows. I used vegan mini marshmallows, up to you though. I’d like to say add as many as your heart desires, but too many will mess up the cookie structure so stick to the recipe amount here (and maybe add just one extra on top of each cookie)
  • Dark chocolate. Chips or chunks, and a few extra of these on top too won’t hurt.

Tips For The Best S’mores Cookies

  1. Don’t over mix the batter. Especially after you add the dry ingredients, process just until combined. Or to be safe, transfer the wet mixture to a bowl and mix the rest by hand. If you over mix, the cookies can come out gummy.
  2. Give them room on the baking sheet. These cookies do like to spread out as they bake and we don’t want to cramp their s’mores style or have any marshmallows melting into a neighboring cookie.
  3. Let them cool. For at least 15 minutes on the baking sheet, they will be fragile when hot and break if you try to move them too early.
  4. Eat them warm. For obvious marshmallow and melty chocolate reasons, this is a cookie to eat freshly baked and still warm. But yes, of course you can store them in the fridge and save leftovers for later too.

      Should work, just reduce the amount to probably around 1/4 cup!

    So yummy! The cookie part has a nice graham cracker taste. I used a chopped up marshmallow since I only had regular size ones but it worked well. I will definitely make these again.

      Wow, these are incredible. I’ve never baked anything with marshmallows before, and these were the perfect way to start! The texture is amazing, and I love the sweetness from the dates. I’ll definitely be making these a lot this summer!

    I made these with coconut flour and they turned out ah-mazing. So gooey and delicious. The hardest part was waiting for them to cool before eating.

    These are delicious, thank you.

    The only thing I would say is 1/2 tsp is way too much baking soda. They turn out super airy like cake, the texture is not quite like a chewy chocolate chip cookie. Next time I make this I’ll do 1/4 or 1/8 tsp and let you know how that is.

      Hi Rachel! Hmm I can’t really think of anything similar you could sub for that gooey s’mores effect, but you can just omit them and add some extra chocolate chips😋

    Attempted this. Perhaps I have been used to crunchy cookies all this while. This is the first of it’s kind. It’s lovely when it’s freshly out of the oven, slight crunch and gooey from the marshmallow. Next day, it’s totally soft and needed a little help to be baked again. Will definitely try it again, will tweak it but still use the healthy option of dates. Thanks for sharing. ❤️

      Hi Stella! These are definitely a more soft and crispy cookie. Since its the combo of sugar and fat/butter in traditional cookies that creates the crispiness, most any date-sweetened and healthier cookie is going to be on the softer side. Good luck tweaking and thanks for your feedback!

DAIRY-FREE CHOCOLATE CREAMI RECIPE🍫 I’ve made DAIRY-FREE CHOCOLATE CREAMI RECIPE🍫 I’ve made this many many times to get it just right, and alas it is PERFECT. Date-sweetened, high protein, and soooooo creamy🍦 Add whatever mix-ins you love (chocolate chips, sprinkles, brownie chunks, cookie dough, m&ms, granola, etc.)

If you don’t have a Ninja Creami, I’ll pop the link to my blender chocolate soft serve recipe in my stories✌️

INGREDIENTS
1 cup (240g) cashew milk (or almond milk)
1/2 cup (120g) canned coconut milk
2 scoops (40g) chocolate protein powder (I use @sproutliving)
2-3 (65g) pitted medjool dates
2 tbsp (12g) cocoa powder
1/8 tsp salt
1/2 tsp vanilla extract
Optional: 1 tbsp (16g) chocolate @sunbutter, peanut butter, or tahini

Blend all the ingredients until smooth. Pour into a Creami container and freeze overnight. Process on the light ice cream setting, it will be powdery at this point. Add a splash of milk (preferably coconut) and re-spin once or twice as needed. Add mix-ins of choice, and process on the mix-in setting. Enjoy!

No-Churn Pistachio Ice Cream💚 A love it or hate No-Churn Pistachio Ice Cream💚 A love it or hate it flavor, but if you love it you will LOVE this recipe! Dairy-free, just 6 ingredients, and creamy as can be thanks to @edwardandsons Let’s Do Organic Heavy Coconut Cream🍨

INGREDIENTS
-1 cups (130g) raw pistachios, shells removed
-2 cans 13.5oz cans @edwardandsons Let’s Do Organic Heavy Coconut Cream
-1/3 cup (105g) maple syrup
-1 tsp vanilla extract
-1 tsp almond extract
-1/2 tsp salt
-Optional: 1/8 tsp spirulina or 1/4 tsp matcha powder for color

INSTRUCTIONS
Shake the coconut cream cans and pour the entire contents into a medium saucepan. Add pistachios, maple syrup, and salt. Bring to a boil, reduce to a simmer, and simmer for 15 minutes stirring occasionally. It will thicken slightly and the pistachios will soften. Remove from heat, stir in the extracts, cool 10 minutes. Blend until very smooth.

Pour into a silicone ice cube tray and freeze overnight. The next day, blend the cubes with a splash of coconut cream until creamy. If you don’t have a blender with a tamper, I recommend using a food processor and stopping to scrape down the sides often. You will have a soft-serve consistency at this point.

Transfer to a loaf pan, freeze 30-60 minutes until it is scoop-able but not frozen solid. Then scoop and serve. Keep leftovers in the freezer, covered. To serve from fully frozen, thaw 30-45 minutes until soft enough to scoop.

If you have an ice cream maker: cool the mixture 1-2 hours after blending, then churn for 30-45 minutes

If you have a Ninja Creami: cool the mixture for 30 minutes, then pour into Creami containers and freeze overnight. Then process on the ice cream setting. If it comes out powdery, add a splash of coconut milk and re-spin 1 to 2 times

Copycat KUDOS GRANOLA BARS😋 a.k.a. really yummy Copycat KUDOS GRANOLA BARS😋 a.k.a. really yummy, chewy, easy, chocolate chip, chocolate dipped, granola bars!

INGREDIENTS
-4 cups (120g) crispy rice cereal
-2 cups (160g) quick oats
-2 14oz cans sweetened condensed coconut milk
-1/2 tsp salt
-3/4 cup (120g) mini chocolate chips
-1/2 cup (80g) chocolate chips, melted

Combine cereal, oats, and salt in a large bowl. In a small saucepan, heat the sweetened condensed coconut milk to a simmer. Simmer and whisk until smooth and visibly thickened (8-10 minutes). Pour on top of the dry ingredients and mix until evenly coated. Set aside to cool about 10-15 minutes (IMPORTANT so you don’t melt the chocolate chips!)

Preheat the oven to 250°F. Fold in mini chocolate chips. Transfer mixture to a square baking dish (8×8”) lined with parchment paper, place a piece of wax paper on top, and use your hands or another pan to press in VERY firmly. Bake 1 hour at 250°F. Cool, then chill 4 hours (makes them easier to slice/coat). Lift out of the pan, slice into 10 bars.

Dip the bottom of each bar in melted chocolate, then place on wax paper to set. Drizzle the tops with more melted chocolate. Chill until chocolate is set.

EASY LINZER FLOWERS🌸 Perfect last minute baking EASY LINZER FLOWERS🌸 Perfect last minute baking for a mama you appreciate, or just a springy sweet treat for yourself too. With a raspberry pomegranate filling that is the perfect tart-sweet balance to these buttery cookies❤️

INGREDIENTS
-1/2 cup (113g) dairy-free butter, softened
-1/2 cup (110g) cane sugar
-2 tsps vanilla extract
-1 1/2 cups (180g) gluten-free or all-purpose flour
-3/4 cup (84g) almond flour
-Zest of one lemon
-1/4 tsp salt
-1 jar @stdalfourusa Raspberry & Pomegranate Fruit Spread
-Optional: 1/2 cup white chocolate chips, melted for dipping/drizzling OR powdered sugar for dusting

In a stand mixer fitted with a paddle attachment or using a hand-mixer, beat the softened butter until light and fluffy (about two minutes). Add sugar and vanilla extract, beat again to combine. Place a mesh strainer on top of the bowl and measure out the flours and salt. Sift in all together, then add the lemon zest. Mix on medium speed to form a crumbly dough. 

Gently knead the dough into a ball. Roll out the dough between two sheets of wax paper to about 1/4 inch thickness. Preheat the oven to 350°F. Cut out using a linzer cookie cutter–half should be solid cookies, half should have the center punched out. Carefully transfer cookies to a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Bake 9-10 minutes, until golden brown around the edges. Let them cool 10 minutes on the pan, then transfer to a rack to cool completely. 

Flip over the solid cookies, and place a teaspoon of fruit spread on the center of each. Top with the cut-out cookies. Dust with powdered sugar before serving.
