Servings: 20 cookies
Calories: 98kcal
Ingredients
- 1 1/4 cups all-purpose flour 150g
- 1 teaspoon cream of tartar
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/4 teaspoon coarse salt
- 1/2 cup sugar 100g
- 1/2 cup dairy free butter 113g, 1 stick
- 1 large egg
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 cup cereal marshmallows + extra for garnish
Instructions
- Mise en place. Preheat oven to 350˚F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper. If needed, separate marshmallows from cereal and measure ingredients before you begin.
- Whisk the dry ingredients. Mix the flour, baking soda, cream of tartar and salt in a medium bowl until everything is evenly distributed. Set it aside for later.
- Mix the wet ingredients. With an electric mixer, beat the vegan butter (or shortening) with the sugar until it's light and fluffy. Then mix in your egg and vanilla extract. Be careful not to over mix or the cookies will be tough.
- Combine the two. Add the flour mixture, a little bit at a time, to the wet ingredients, mixing until a dough forms. Then, gently stir in the marshmallows until they are evenly spread through the dough.
- Bake the cookies. Scoop the cookies onto a prepared baking sheet and bake them for 10 - 12 minutes or until the edges and tops have set. When you take them out, they may look slightly undercooked, but that's what you want.
- Decorate and cool. Remove the cookies from the oven and press a few extra marshmallows into their tops for extra decoration. Then, let them rest on the cookie sheet for a few minutes before transferring them to a cooling rack.
