Best Vegan S'Mores Cookies with Flax Egg (Chewy Centers & Easy Prep)

The best vegan s'mores cookies! Chewy centers, melted chocolate, and toasted marshmallows. This crowd-pleaser recipe uses a flax egg and is air fryer friendly.

Ingredients

• 1 cup room temperature vegan butter
• 1 cup white sugar
• 2 flax egg (2 tbsp ground flax mixed with 6 tbsp water; let sit for 5-10 minutes)
• 4 tsp vanilla extract
• 3 cups all-purpose flour (360g)
• 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
• 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 10 large vegan marshmallows, cut into smaller pieces
• 2/3 cup chocolate chunks
• Optional - 40g sourdough discard

Instructions

• Create the flax egg by combining 2 tbsp ground flax mixed with 6 tbsp water, give it a brief stir with a fork, and let that sit for 5-10 minutes.
• Add the room temperature vegan butter and white sugar to a mixing bowl (ideally stand mixer)
• Use stand/handheld electric mixer to cream the butter and sugar together until fluffy (~1 minute).
• Add in the flax egg and vanilla to the creamed mixture and mix together briefly.
• Add all-purpose flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt to the creamed butter and sugar mixture and mix together until a thick cookie dough forms.
• View the tips section if you’d like to try the air fryer method. Otherwise, preheat the oven to 350F. (Optionally line a pan with parchment paper or use “DaTerra Cucina - Nonstick Ceramic Coated Baking Sheet” as that pan never sticks)
• Add chocolate chunks and marshmallow pieces to the cookie dough and gently fold in with a spatula to evenly distribute throughout the dough.
• Cover the dough and chill in the freezer for ~10-15 min or until the oven is preheated. (You can skip this step if you’re low on time, it just might be slightly harder to form the cookies into balls)
• Roll out balls of 12 evenly sized cookies and place on the baking sheet at least 2 inches apart from each other. No need to flatten them as they will spread while baking. Roll out another 12 evenly sized cookies.
• Bake for 16-18 minutes until bottoms are lightly browned and the cookies are cooked through but have slightly soft centers.
• Remove the cookie tray from the oven and immediately tap the tray on the counter for a more “wrinkly” cookie and help deflate the cookies.
• Let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for 5-10 minutes.
• Serve!

Air Fryer vs Oven

Air Fryer	Oven
More crispy cookie	More chewy cookie
Less cook time	More cook time
Harder to clean	Easier to clean
More puffed up	More flat

Tips

• Be sure to use this baking sheet if you can: “DaTerra Cucina - Nonstick Ceramic Coated Baking Sheet” since nothing sticks to that pan! Otherwise, I’d suggest using some parchment paper in case!
• Air Fryer Cookie Cooking Method (makes the cookies look even more like a toasty s’more)
  • Grease the air fryer basket.
  • Preheat the air fryer on 400F.
  • Once preheated fully, add cookies and cook for 8 min.
  • You’ll need a metal spatula to extract the cookies from the air fryer basket.
