Ingredients
Units
Scale
1 c vegan butter
3/4 c light brown sugar
3/4 c sugar
2 tbsp nondairy milk
2 tsp vanilla extract
1 tsp baking soda
3/4 tsp salt
1/2 c cocoa powder
2 1/4 c all purpose flour
1 1/2 c nondairy chocolate chips
2/3 c mini vegan marshmallows
Instructions
- Make the Cookie Dough: In a large bowl cream together the vegan butter and the sugars using an electric hand mixer until light and fluffy. This should take about a minute. Add the nondairy milk, vanilla, baking soda, salt and cocoa powder to the bowl. Beat again until all ingredients are evenly distributed. Add in the all purpose flour and beat until just combined. Do not over-mix. Fold in the chocolate chips.
- Chill the Dough: Scoop 2 tablespoon balls of cookie dough onto a baking sheet, lining them up close together. Continue until all of the cookie dough has been used up. Press 2-3 mini marshmallows into the top of each ball of cookie dough. Cover the baking sheet with plastic wrap and place in the refrigerator to chill for at least one hour. Dough can keep this way for up to 48 hours.
- Bake: Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Remove the prepared cookie dough from the refrigerator and fill the prepared baking sheet with cookie dough balls spaced 2 inches apart. You will likely get around 3 batches out of this recipe so be sure to keep unused cookie dough in the fridge between batches. Bake cookies on center rack of preheated oven for 10-12 minutes. Allow cookies to cool on baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
Notes
*Cookies will keep in an airtight container at room temperature for 2-3 days or can be frozen for up to 1 month.
*Do not stir the marshmallows into the cookie dough! You only want the marshmallows to be on top of the cookies. If mixed in they will cause cookies to over-spread in the oven. They also won’t get the nice, toasty texture on top.
