Vegan Cookie S'mores
5min read
Vegan s’mores, but make them chocolate chunk cookie vegan s’mores. These s'mores are crisp on the outside, and chewy and soft on the inside - just like they should be - but with the added benefit of chocolate chunks and craggly edges. If you’re a fan of the classic, worry not - you can head here for your very own graham cracker recipe.
The chocolate chip cookies in this recipe differ from the rest on Planted, in that they have a higher quantity of caster sugar vs. light brown sugar. That’s because light brown sugar is typically responsible for the chewier qualities of cookie, and since I was after a light and crisp cookie here that would snap and crunch once bitten into (replicating the texture of a normal graham cracker s’more) the sugar ratios, as well as the butter ratio, had to be adjusted. If you’re a die hard fan of a chewy cookie, and can’t be persuaded otherwise, head to our classic chocolate chunk cookie recipe and continue the recipe as normal from step 8.

Ingredients
Cookies:
300g plain flour
1 tsp baking powder
1 tsp baking soda
1 tsp salt
150g caster sugar
30g light brown sugar
155g plant based butter, at room temperature
1 tsp vanilla extract
60ml plant based milk, at room temperature
140g dark chocolate, finely chopped
Filling:
16 plant based marshmallows, (we used dandies)
200g thin squares of dark chocolate, (we used lindt)
Method
STEP 1
In a bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
STEP 2
In a separate large bowl, combine the caster sugar, light brown sugar and plant based butter. Use an electric mixer to cream the ingredients together for 2-3 minutes - until light and fluffy - or use a wooden spoon and vigorously mix by hand for 4-5 minutes.
STEP 3
Stir in the vanilla extract and plant based milk. Fold the dry ingredients into the wet, until a dough comes together.
STEP 4
Fold in the chocolate chunks. Cover the bowl then let it sit in the fridge for at least 1 hour (and up to 24).
STEP 5
Once your dough has chilled, preheat the oven to 170˚C fan/190˚C conventional. Line two large baking trays with parchment paper or silicone baking mats. Use an ice cream scoop or large spoon to scoop out 16 cookies.
STEP 6
Bake the cookies for 13-15 minutes, until deeply golden brown. Remove them from the oven and let them cool for 5 minutes before transferring them onto a wire rack to cool for 15 more minutes.
STEP 7
While the cookies cool, switch the oven from fan to grill.
STEP 8
To make the smores, place 8 cookies onto a baking tray, with the bottom side facing up. Top each cookie with two marshmallows.
STEP 9
Transfer the tray into the oven and grill the marshmallows until deeply golden brown - this takes around 6-8 minutes, depending on the marshmallow type.
STEP 10
Remove the tray from the oven, and immediately top each marshmallow with two squares of dark chocolate. Use the remaining 8 cookies to sandwich the smores and use your hands to press down gently.
STEP 11
Wait 10-15 seconds before tucking in, to give the chocolate time to melt.
