Healthier Smores Stuffed Cookies (gluten/grain/dairy free)

Jump to Recipe Print Recipe

I’m SO excited to be kicking off my Healthified Girl Scout Cookies Week with these Healthier S’mores Cookies! This week I’ll be sharing FOUR healthier versions of Girl Scout Cookie flavors. If you either can’t have them due to dietary restrictions or the season is over and you need your cookie fix, I got you!

These Healthier S’mores Cookies have a soft and cinnamon-y cookie exterior and stuffed with melty chocolate and a gooey marshmallow. And they are absolutely glorious. My husband and I almost destroyed a whole pan of these bad boys in a single day. So here’s the warning, these are addictive! The good news is that the cookie is paleo-friendly and not overly sweetened to counter balance the sweet center. I used Hu’s Simple Dark chocolate bars, which are refined sugar free, but there is traditional sugar in the marshmallow. So while these are gluten, grain, and dairy free, they do have some refined sugar, making them “paleo-ish”. They are “healthier” because they definitely have less sugar than what you’d get from the boxed variety. So you can bet I’ll be making these again soon and alllll summer long, because this girl loves her s’mores and these cookies just hit the spot without the sugar overload.

While these do take a bit of prep, it is 100% worth the time it takes to create these. The cookie is made with just 9 simple ingredients and in just one bowl! Use your favorite brand of marshmallows and chocolate bar for the interior.

Healthier S'mores Cookies

These Healthier S'mores Cookies have a soft and cinnamon-y cookie exterior and stuffed with melty chocolate and a gooey marshmallow. And they are absolutely glorious.

paleo-ish, gluten free, grain free, dairy free

Course Dessert

Ingredients

Cookie Ingredients

Wet

  • 1/4 cup coconut oil melted and cooled
  • 1/4 cup coconut sugar
  • 1 egg

Dry

  • 1 cup almond flour
  • 1/2 cup tapioca flour
  • 1 1/2 tsp cinnamon
  • 1 tsp baking powder
  • 1/2 tsp baking soda
  • 1/4 tsp salt

S'mores Filling

  • 10-12 large marshmallows cut in half
  • 20-24 cubes of your favorite chocolate about 2 bars

Instructions

  1. Make the cookie dough by mixing the wet ingredients together either by hand or in a stand mixer. Mix until frothy.

  2. Next, add in all the dry ingredients and stir until just fully incorporated and a dough is formed.

  3. Using a large cookie dough scooper (I used a 3 tbsp, 50 mm) scoop out dough into large balls and place on parchment lined baking sheet.

  4. Fill the cookies by taking a dough ball, pressing it into a flat circle in the palm of your hand and stack a cube of chocolate then a marshmallow half in the center of the cookie. Fold the edges of the cookie over and place the filled cookie back on the pan. I found that keeping the dough ball with marshmallow on top keeps the cookies more in tact during baking.

  5. Place the baking sheet in the freezer for at least 30 minutes, preferably 1 hour, and up to overnight.

  6. Bake at 360 degree for 10-12 minutes or until the cookies are golden brown.

  7. These are amazing when served warm but will keep in an airtight container for a day or so. Afterwards move the fridge or freezer for longer storage.

Recipe Notes

  • I used a pair of kitchen scissors to cut the marshmallows in half (think hamburger bun style) and highly recommend that method. 
  • You can feel free to use chocolate chips and mini marshmallows if you prefer. However I found that the cube and half large marshmallow method made for easier filling. 
  • I firmly believe that these are at their true glory when eaten warm. Although I did not try it, I suspect these can be made in advance, frozen on a baking sheet, and then moved to a hearty freezer-safe bag or container to keep on hand for future baking. Should last a few months in the freezer.
