Description
These Gluten Free Chocolate S’mores Cookies are epic. Unlike a standard vanilla s’mores cookie, these feature a rich, fudgy double-chocolate dough made with both Dutch-processed and regular cocoa powder. Packed with chopped gluten-free graham crackers, gooey marshmallows, and milk chocolate chunks, they deliver the nostalgic campfire flavor in a decadent chocolate cookie form.
Ingredients
— The Wet Ingredients —
1 cup salted butter, softened at room temperature
1/2 cup light brown sugar, packed
1 1/3 cups white granulated sugar
1 large egg + 1 large egg yolk
1 tablespoon vanilla extract
2 teaspoons instant coffee granules (dissolved in the vanilla)
— The Dry Ingredients —
1 1/2 cups gluten free 1-to-1 flour blend (ensure it contains xanthan gum, or add 1/2 tsp)
1/2 cup unsweetened Dutch-processed cocoa powder
1/4 cup regular unsweetened cocoa powder
1 teaspoon baking soda
3/4 teaspoon salt
— The Mix-ins —
1 cup milk chocolate, chopped into 1/2-inch pieces
1 cup gluten free graham crackers, chopped into 1/2-inch pieces
1 cup mini marshmallows
Extra marshmallows or chocolate for topping (optional)
Instructions
1. Prep & Cream Butter: In a large bowl or stand mixer, cream together the softened butter, brown sugar, and white sugar on medium-high speed until light and fluffy (about 3–5 minutes). Do not skimp on this step.
2. Add Eggs & Flavor: Add the whole egg and the egg yolk. Beat until smooth. In a small bowl, dissolve the instant coffee granules into the vanilla extract, then pour this into the batter and mix until combined.
3. Mix Dry Ingredients: Add the gluten free flour, Dutch-processed cocoa powder, regular cocoa powder, baking soda, and salt. Mix by hand with a sturdy spatula or wooden spoon until fully combined. *The dough will be stiff.*
4. Add Mix-ins: Fold in the chopped milk chocolate, chopped graham crackers, and mini marshmallows until they are evenly distributed throughout the dough.
5. Chill Dough: Scoop the dough into a smaller bowl, cover with plastic wrap, and refrigerate for at least 1 hour. *Chilling is mandatory to prevent spreading.*
6. Preheat: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line baking sheets with parchment paper.
7. Scoop & Bake: Scoop the chilled dough (about 2-3 tablespoons per cookie) onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing them apart. Bake for 10 minutes. *The center should still look soft and slightly underbaked.*
8. Cool: Remove from the oven and let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for at least 15 minutes. They will set and become chewy as they cool. Do not move them while hot, or they will fall apart.
9. Serve: Enjoy once the cookies have set but are still warm for the best gooey marshmallow experience.
Notes
Cocoa Blend: Using a mix of Dutch-processed and regular cocoa powder gives the cookies a deep, complex chocolate flavor and the perfect texture.
Coffee: The instant coffee intensifies the chocolate flavor without making the cookies taste like coffee.
Graham Crackers: Chop the graham crackers into decent-sized chunks so they don’t turn into dust in the mixer.
Don’t Overbake: Baking these until they look dry will result in hard cookies. Pull them out while the centers are still soft.
