Equipment

Ingredients

1 ⅓ cups all-purpose flour
½ teaspoon baking powder
½ teaspoon baking soda
½ cup salted vegan butter room temperature
½ cup light brown sugar
¼ cup applesauce
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 cup mini vegan marshmallows
½ cup vegan chocolate chips
3 graham crackers broken into small pieces

Instructions

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and baking soda.
In a separate bowl or the bowl of a stand mixer, beat the vegan butter and brown sugar until creamy.
Add the applesauce and vanilla extract, then mix on low speed until fully incorporated, about 1 minute.
Gradually add the flour mixture, mixing on low speed until just combined. Scrape down the sides of the bowl as needed.
Gently fold in the graham cracker pieces, mini vegan marshmallows, and vegan chocolate chips. Mix on low just until combined, being careful not to overmix.
Scoop about 2 tablespoons of dough onto the prepared baking sheet and flatten with your palm, spacing each vegan cookie about 2 inches apart.
Bake for 10 to 12 minutes, or until the vegan cookies are lightly golden.
Let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for about 10 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

Measure the flour properly: Don’t scoop the flour into the measuring cup. Instead, fluff it in its bag, spoon it into the measuring cup, and level with a knife. This helps avoid dry, dense cookies.

Don’t over-mix the dough: Over-mixing leads to gummy, dense, overly spread cookies.

For rounder cookies: Swirl a cup/cookie cutter over the warm cookies immediately after baking them to reshape them.
