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.

    Will all purpose flour work for this recipe?

      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!

Some recipes are worth splurging on dairy-free whi Some recipes are worth splurging on dairy-free white chocolate and this is DEFINITELY one of them🤎🤍 That decadent chocolate + peanut butter + coconut middle 1000% deserves the creamy coating and sprinkle finish, trust me💗 Recipe below…

Vegan White Chocolate Valentine’s Truffles

Set aside the remaining white chocolate. Melt the dark chocolate chips. In a food processor combine the Dark Cacao Coconut Cookies, almond/peanut butter, melted chocolate, salt, and vanilla. Process until smooth, it should be the consistency of a thick brownie batter. Place about 2 tsps of the chocolate mixture into each heart and press to flatten. Cover with remaining melted white chocolate. Chill until chocolate is set. Carefully remove from the molds. Optionally drizzle with more dark chocolate and top with sprinkles. Enjoy!

Its #nationalmedjooldateday 🥳🥳 I have wayyyy Its #nationalmedjooldateday 🥳🥳 I have wayyyyyy too many medjool recipes on the blog to mention, so I picked this friday-easy, highly-fudgy, personal fave: No-Bake Vegan Chocolate Cream Pie!

Four ingredient chocolate crumb crust. Three ingredient date-sweetened cream filling. Its truly TOO simple and TOO good❤️

Crust
-2 cups almonds (or nuts of choice)
-1/2 cup cocoa powder
-1/2 tsp salt
-1/4 cup coconut oil
Filling
-12oz unsweetened chocolate, melted
-3 cups non-dairy milk 
-1 cup (10-12) pitted medjool dates (@ndmedjooldates are my favorite!)

Blend almonds, cocoa powder, and salt. Add the coconut oil. Blend until the texture is moist and crumbly. Press into the bottom of a pie pan and up the sides.

Blend the milk and dates on high until very smooth. Add melted chocolate and blend until combined. Pour into the crust and smooth the top. Refrigerate (creamier more like a pudding/mud pie) or freeze (firmer texture) overnight, or for at least 8 hours. Slice and enjoy!

Is it even christmas time without a gingerbread cu Is it even christmas time without a gingerbread cutout cookie + sprinkles moment??🎄

This is my fave vegan and paleo recipe—super moist and tender with almond flour, heavy on the molasses, with a pop of lemon, and they’re oil-free!

Ingredients
-1/2 cup coconut sugar
-1/4 cup almond butter (or any nut/seed butter)
-1/4 cup molasses
-1 tbsp lemon juice
-2 tsps ginger
-1 tsp cinnamon
-1/4 tsp cloves
-1/2 tsp baking soda
-1 tsp vanilla extract
-2 cups almond flour (oat flour option linked in my bio!)

Whisk coconut sugar, almond butter, molasses, and lemon juice until combined. Add the rest of the ingredients and mix/knead to form a ball of dough. Roll out the dough to 1/4 inch thickness between two pieces of wax paper. Chill dough flat for 30 minutes. Cutout cookies with a cookie cutter, then use a spatula to carefully transfer to a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Bake for 10 minutes at 350F or until golden around the edges. You can re-roll/cut the excess dough. Cool completely. Decorate (I used melted coconut butter + matcha for the “glaze”) and enjoy!
