Soft & Chewy Vegan S’mores Cookies
These delicious vegan s’mores cookies are filled with vegan graham crackers, chocolate, and topped with vegan marshmallows! They are a campfire treat in a portable cookie, all without eggs, dairy, or gelatin! And yes, you can totally make them gluten free!
If you’re just as big of a fan of s’mores as I am, I know you’re gonna love these delicious vegan s’mores cookies! All the flavors of s’mores but without the work of a campfire.
These are based off of my vegan chocolate chip cookies, which are another family favorite recipe. But don’t think they are more complicated! If you can make chocolate chip cookies, you can totally make these cookies.
Ingredients
For the full list of ingredients, complete with recipe quantities, please see the recipe box below.
- Vegan Graham Crackers: You have options here. I use plain, Nabisco Graham Crackers that are totally vegan. Kroger Original Graham Crackers and even Teddy Grahams Cinnamon cookies are vegan. You can also use Biscoff cookies if you can’t find any graham crackers. For a gluten free option, I suggest using Annie’s Gluten Free Snickerdoodle Bunny Grahams – the little bit of cinnamon in those cookies will help enhance the flavor of the s’mores!
- Vegan Marshmallows: Yes, vegan marshmallows are totally a thing! My favorite brand to use are the Dandies mini marshmallows for these cookies. Trader Joe’s also have some vegan marshmallows.
Substitutions
To make these gluten free, you’ll want to make sure that you are using both gluten free flour and gluten free graham crackers. My favorite gluten free flour is always King Arthur Measure for Measure. For my favorite gluten free graham cracker, I suggest the Annie’s Gluten Free Snickerdoodle Bunny Grahams – they are both gluten free and vegan!
Instructions
Make sure to check out the recipe card below for the full recipe and ingredient list.
- Start by crushing up the graham crackers. In this recipe, I use one sleeve of graham crackers, which is 8 graham crackers total. This ends up equaling about 1 cup of crushed graham crackers.
- Next, make the cookie dough. This is a pretty simple dough recipe with the big change coming in the form of replacing some flour with the crushed graham crackers. You can make the cookie dough either in a large bowl with hand mixer or whisk, or, use a stand mixer with the paddle attachment.
- Shape and roll the cookies. Using a tablespoon scoop, scoop the dough into balls and place 12 cookies per tray. Now press the mini marshmallows on top of the cookies.
- Bake. Bake the cookies for about 13 to 14 minutes in the oven until they are golden brown and set. Pull them out of the oven and let them rest on the hot cookie trays for at least 15 minutes to allow them to fully set.
- Toast. Optionally you can toast the marshmallows to really get some char on top. Take a lighter and while the cookies are still hot from the oven, carefully toast the marshmallows on top.
How to Store
Countertop: Keep the baked and cooled cookies in an airtight container and store at room temperature for up to 5 days.
Fridge: You can keep these cookies in an airtight container in the fridge for up to a week.
Freeze: To freeze them before baking, make the cookie dough and portion out into dough balls. Freeze the cookie dough for 1 hour on a cookie sheet, then transfer to a freezer safe container. These will keep frozen for up to 3 months. To bake from frozen, add an additional 3-5 minutes of baking time.
To freeze them after baking, place fully cooked and cooled cookies into a freezer safe container. Layer parchment paper or wax paper in between each layer of cookies. This will keep for up to 3 months. Make sure you allow them to thaw completely before enjoying from frozen.

Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 375°F/190℃. Line 2 baking sheets with parchment paper. Set aside.

- Crush the graham crackers. In a small bowl, crush the graham crackers using a large fork or potato masher.
- Mix the wet ingredients. In a large bowl with your hand mixer, or in a stand mixer with the paddle attachment, mix the butter with white and brown sugars on medium speed for 5 minutes. Add the flax egg mixture and vanilla.

Now add the dry ingredients, mixing on low speed, and making sure to scrape down the sides of the bowl to ensure all the ingredients are mixed. Add the chocolate chips (or chopped chocolate). Let it mix together one last time.

- Optional Toasting: After the cookies are removed from the oven, you can take a lighter and carefully toast the tops of each marshmallow for that extra toasty taste! Just please be careful as the marshmallows do catch on fire pretty easily!
