Chocolate Toasted Marshmallow Cookies (Dairy and Egg Free!)

Engage the kids in a baking lesson that's both educational and satisfying. They'll eagerly join you in crafting these delicious, chewy, and gooey chocolate cookies!

Ingredients:

• 2 cups Caster Sugar
• 1/3 cup Plant-based milk
• 1/3 cup Olive oil
• 2 cups Plain (All-purpose) flour
• 1/4 cup The Good Coco 42% cocoa powder
• 1 teaspoon Baking powder
• 1/2 teaspoon Bicarbonate soda
• 2g Fine salt
• 1 1/4 cups Dark chocolate chips
• 1 bag of Mini marshmallows

Method:

1. Preheat the oven to 180°C fan (350°F).
2. Whisk both sugar, milk, and olive oil together in a large bowl until fully combined and no oily streaks.
3. In another large bowl, mix the flour, baking powder, bicarbonate soda, cocoa powder, fine salt, and chocolate chips together.
4. Add the wet mixture to the dry ingredients and mix with a spatula until a dough forms. Then mix in the chopped chocolate or chips.
5. Line two large baking sheets with baking parchment.
6. Portion out the dough with an ice-cream scooper, spaced 5cm apart and away from the edge. Press a few marshmallows on top of the cookie dough balls. This will create pools of gooey marshmallows on top and will get toasty and delicious.
7. Bake for 12 minutes for a soft, fudgy cookie and 15 minutes for cookies that are crispier around the edges.

Tip: Freeze the dough for another day to treat the kids.
