Ingredients
- 120 grams almond flour
- 75 grams tapioca flour
- 35 grams cocoa powder
- 130 grams dairy free butter
- 100 grams sugar
- 100 grams brown sugar
- 1 egg
- 1 teaspoon vanilla
- ½ teaspoon baking soda
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ¾ teaspoon xanthan gum
- 2 oz dairy free chocolate or chocolate chips
- 40 grams vegan mini marshmallows I use the Dandie brand
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 325.
- Using a mixer, add the butter and both sugars and beat together until creamy and slightly fluffy. Don’t be afraid of over-mixing at this point!
- Add in the egg and vanilla and mix well again until smooth and fluffy.
- Add all the dry ingredients, including the cocoa powder and mix slowly until well incorporated.
- Lastly, add in the chopped chocolate or chocolate chips and marshmallows and hand mix until incorporated and evenly dispersed.
- Line a cookie sheet with parchment paper. Using a medium sized cookie scoop, scoop out the cookies onto the baking sheet, about 6 at a time, leaving space in between each cookie.
- Sprinkle a bit more of the chopped chocolate or a couple of chocolate chips on top, then place in the oven and bake for 11min.
- Allow to cool slightly before enjoying. Those marshmallows get very hot while cooking so be cautious of that before devouring!
