Sweet Salty Marshmallow Carob Chip Cookies
These sweet and salty marshmallow carob chip cookies are the best soft and chewy cookies in town. They're jampacked with salty pretzels, sweet marshmallows, and chocolate chips. Your kids will never guess that these moist cookies are gluten and dairy-free.
Ingredients
- 1/2 Cup Plant-Based Butter
- 1/3 Cup White Sugar
- 2/3 Cup Brown Sugar
- 1/4 Cup Unsweetened Applesauce
- 1 tsp Vanilla Extract
- 1 3/4 Cup Gluten-Free Flour
- 1 tsp Baking Soda
- 1/4 tsp Salt
- 1 1/2 Cup Vegan chocolate chips or carob chips
- 1/2 Cup Marshmallows
- 1/2 Cup Salty Pretzels
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350F degrees. Line baking sheets with silicone baking mats or parchment paper.
- Using a stand mixer (or a hand mixer with a large bowl), cream softened plant-based butter, white sugar, and packed brown sugar for 3-4 minutes on medium speed, or until soft, smooth, creamy, and evenly incorporated.
- Add applesauce and vanilla extract.
- Turn the mixer back on to medium speed and cream together another minute.
- Gently stir dry ingredients (flour, salt, baking soda) into wet ingredients. Followed by slowly mixing on low speed until just combined. ( I added this step because it's the only way I know how to stop flour from going everywhere)!
- Stir in carob chips, marshmallows, and pretzels. Using a small or large ice cream scoop (or tablespoon), scoop cookie dough onto parchment paper-lined baking sheets.
- Don't overcrowd cookie sheet as cookies will spread. Place cookies a couple of inches apart, 6 cookies per baking sheet.
- Bake for 17 minutes, or until the desired crispness. Remove from the oven and let cool on the baking sheet a few minutes before transferring to a wire rack.
Notes
- As all oven temperatures vary, I suggest checking your cookies at the 10-minute mark.
- If you'd like a flatter cookie slam your baking sheet onto a flat surface towards the end of the baking process.
- Feel free to add more or less of the added ingredients as you'd like. This is a great recipe to get the kids to help with.
