  • 3 tbsp aquafaba or flax egg
  • 1 tsp organic vanilla extract
  • 1 1/4 cup Bob's All Purpose GF Flour
  • 1/4 cup corn starch
  • 3/4 cup graham cracker crumbs, vegan + gluten-free

  • 1 cup of vegan chocolate chips
  • 1 cup of vegan gf marshmallows (Dandies)

  1. In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together the dry ingredients.
  2. In a large bowl, beat together the butter and sugars. Add in aquafaba and vanilla and beat until fluffy.
  3. Add in the dry ingredients and mix until combined. Fold in the chocolate chips and marshmallows.
  4. Cover with plastic wrap or beeswax wrap and place in the fridge for 15 minutes.
  5. While the dough chills, preheat the oven to 375F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  6. Take 1 tbsp of the cookie dough and roll into a ball. Roll another tsp of dough and place it on top of the bigger ball. See blog post above for a photo. Do not flatten the cookies.
  7. These cookies spread, so bake 6-8 cookies at a time, depending on the size of your oven/baking sheet. Give them lots of room!
  8. Bake for 11 minutes. Let them cool on the baking sheet before transferring them to a cooling rack.

  6. Mix well to incorporate and then add the vegan chocolate chips.
  7. Mix to combine then using an ice cream or cookie scoop (or tablespoon), scoop dough onto a parchment lined sheet pan spaced about 2 inches apart so they have room to expand while baking.

  9. Turn the oven off and let the cookies sit inside for 5 more minutes.
  10. Cool on a wire rack. Enjoy!
