Ingredients
  

Cookies

  • ¾ cup powdered sugar or sugar-free sweetener
  • ⅓ cup Dutch cocoa powder
  • ½ cup blanched almond flour
  • 2 tablespoons coconut flour
  • ½ teaspoon baking soda
  • ¼ teaspoon salt
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 tablespoon avocado oil or vegetable oil
  • ¼ cup chocolate chips

Toppings

  • 12 marshmallows
  • ½ cup chocolate chips melted
  • 1 teaspoon butter or coconut oil if needed

Instructions
 

  • Preheat the oven: Preheat to 350°F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  • Mix the dry ingredients: Whisk together powdered sugar, cocoa powder, almond flour, coconut flour, baking soda, and salt.
  • Add wet ingredients: Stir in the egg and oil until a thick dough forms.
  • Fold in chocolate chips: Stir until evenly combined.
  • Scoop and bake: Scoop cookies onto the sheet, spacing about 2 inches apart. Bake 6 minutes.
  • Add marshmallows: Remove from oven and gently press a marshmallow into the center of each cookie. Bake 1–2 more minutes.
  • Melt chocolate: Melt chocolate chips with butter or coconut oil until smooth.
  • Top cookies: Spoon melted chocolate over the marshmallow of each cookie. Enjoy warm or let set before storing.

Notes

Marshmallows: I used Stuffed Puffs milk chocolate-filled marshmallows to create the chocolate-filled look. They don’t contain gluten ingredients but are made on shared equipment and are not certified gluten-free. Make sure to use certified gluten free marshmallows if needed.
Sugar Free/Keto Option: Use a powdered erythritol-based sweetener in the the dough. There are a few companies that make sugar-free or keto friendly marshmallows. Another sugar free alternative is to use a spoonful of whipped heavy cream in place of a marshmallow.
Sweetener: Powdered sweetener blends best for smooth texture.
