These delectable chocolate cookies are generously stuffed with light and airy SmashMallow Strawberries and Cream marshmallows, then finished with a decadent chocolate drizzle.

These SmashMallow Marshmallow Cookies are more than just a treat; they’re a sweet journey back in time. They instantly transport you to cherished childhood memories of gathering with family on Sunday evenings, eagerly awaiting a special scoop of Neapolitan ice cream. We’d always pick up a large gallon, mesmerized by its distinct, beautiful layers of vibrant strawberry, creamy vanilla, and rich chocolate. That iconic color and flavor combination was pure joy, a moment of simple happiness shared with loved ones. It’s this profound sense of nostalgia and delight that inspired the creation of these cookies.

The inspiration for these extraordinary chocolate cookies truly sparked when a package of SMASHMALLOW® Strawberries and Cream marshmallows arrived. Their vibrant color and tempting aroma immediately brought those Neapolitan memories flooding back. It was clear these weren’t just any marshmallows; they were destined for something special. What a delightful and unexpected treat!

SMASHMALLOW is far from an ordinary marshmallow. It’s a premium snacking experience crafted with organic cane sugar and a carefully selected blend of natural ingredients. For those with dietary considerations, you’ll be thrilled to know that SmashMallows are completely gluten-free. Each mouth-watering puff is a testament to quality, made exclusively from the finest naturally sourced and deliciously non-GMO ingredients.

SmashMallow prides itself on purity. You won’t find any corn syrup, artificial colorings, artificial flavorings, or preservatives in these fluffy delights. This dedication to clean ingredients ensures that you’re enjoying a truly natural and wholesome treat, free from the additives often found in conventional marshmallows. It’s a difference you can taste and feel good about.

In addition to the delightful Strawberries and Cream flavor, I’ve had the pleasure of sampling other tempting SmashMallow varieties. Imagine the rich warmth of Toasted Vanilla or the comforting spice of Cinnamon Churro – oh my goodness! These flavors are absolutely perfect for crafting gourmet s’mores. I recently received a fantastic s’mores kit complete with organic graham crackers, luxurious dark Chocolove Chocolate, handy wooden skewers, and charming pink SMASH napkins. It truly elevated the s’mores experience, making it even more enjoyable. Thank you, SmashMallow!

During my recipe development, I found myself happily popping these cute marshmallow cubes into my mouth now and then. As an immense lover of marshmallows, it was incredibly satisfying to know I was enjoying a healthy treat that tasted genuinely delicious. It reaffirms the belief that natural ingredients should always translate into amazing flavor.

SmashMallows: Whipped to Perfection for the Ultimate Treat

Mmm, yes! The way these marshmallows toast up is simply divine. When lightly toasted, they transform into wonderfully gooey, creamy clouds of sweetness that are absolutely “the bomb!” Their unique texture and rich flavor profile make them superior for both snacking and baking.

For those who love s’mores and creative flavor mashups, prepare to be happy! SmashMallow offers an exciting range of flavors perfect for a delightful #snackapade. Imagine the inventive possibilities with flavors like Cookie Dough, refreshing Root Beer Float, or exotic Coconut Pineapple. These unique options provide a fun spin on traditional s’mores and offer endless opportunities to experiment with your favorite desserts.

Elevating Your Marshmallow Experience

What would be your ideal marshmallow flavor? While vanilla is a classic for good reason, I think my ultimate preference would lean towards chocolate. I mean, I’ve never tried one… yet! The thought alone sparks culinary creativity. I imagine these incredible marshmallows would be even more spectacular when fully covered in rich chocolate or elegantly drizzled for special occasions, serving as a standout treat on a party tray. If you have a passion for marshmallows and love to have fun with your food, SmashMallows are definitely worth exploring and incorporating into your baking adventures.

Essential Ingredients for Neapolitan SmashMallow Cookies

Crafting these delicious gluten-free chocolate marshmallow cookies requires a thoughtful selection of ingredients. Here’s what you’ll need to gather:

Neapolitan Chocolate Chip Marshmallow Cookies – GF Base

• Almond flour: Provides a rich texture and nutty flavor, essential for gluten-free baking.
• Coconut flour: Adds a subtle sweetness and helps with binding, I used Purely Amazing Flour for best results.
• Unsweetened dark cocoa powder: For that deep, intense chocolate flavor, I recommend Ghirardelli unsweetened cocoa powder.
• Coconut oil or unsalted butter: Your choice for fat, providing moisture and richness to the cookies.
• Maple syrup or honey or organic cane sugar: Natural sweeteners, I prefer Zulka organic cane sugar for a balanced sweetness.
• Egg: Acts as a binder and helps with the cookie’s structure.
• Salt: Enhances the chocolate flavor and balances sweetness.
• Baking soda: Provides lift, ensuring soft and chewy cookies.
• Vanilla extract: A touch of vanilla complements the chocolate beautifully.
• Dairy-free chocolate chips: For an extra chocolatey kick in the cookies, I use Enjoy Life.

Stuffed Marshmallow Center

• 1 bag (4.5 oz) Strawberries & Cream by SMASHMALLOW Snackable Marshmallows: These can be cut in half or used whole, depending on your preference for marshmallow intensity.

Chocolate Drizzle

• ½ cup dairy-free chocolate chips: For melting and drizzling, I again rely on Enjoy Life for a rich, smooth finish.

How to Make Gluten-Free Chocolate Marshmallow Cookies

1. Begin by preheating your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking tray with parchment paper; this step is crucial for preventing sticking and ensuring easy removal of your delicate cookies.
2. In a spacious mixing bowl, combine the dry ingredients: almond flour, coconut flour, cocoa powder, salt, and baking soda. Whisk them thoroughly to ensure they are well combined and evenly distributed. Set this mixture aside.
3. Now, add the wet ingredients to your dry mixture. Pour in the melted and cooled coconut oil (or butter), maple syrup (or honey/organic cane sugar), vanilla extract, and crack in the egg. Mix everything together until a cohesive dough forms. Gently fold in the dairy-free chocolate chips, ensuring they are evenly distributed throughout the dough.
4. If you find your dough to be excessively sticky, add an additional tablespoon of coconut flour. Mix it in well until the dough is more manageable.
5. While not strictly necessary, I recommend chilling the dough in the refrigerator for about 10 minutes before scooping. This helps to firm up the dough, making it easier to handle and preventing excessive spreading during baking, especially if your kitchen is warm.
6. Using a medium cookie scoop, portion out the dough and place it onto your prepared baking sheet, ensuring each cookie is about 2 inches apart. For extra indulgence, you can gently press a few more chocolate chips onto the top of each cookie before baking.
7. Bake the cookies for 12-13 minutes. At this point, they should be just set at the edges. Carefully remove the baking sheet from the oven and immediately place half or a whole Smashmallow Strawberries and Cream onto the center of each warm cookie, pressing gently to secure it.
8. Return the baking sheet to the oven for just 1 to 2 more minutes. This brief second bake will lightly toast the marshmallow, making it soft and gooey without melting completely.
9. Once out of the oven, allow the cookies to cool on the baking pan for 5 minutes. This step is crucial as it allows the cookies to set and firm up before transferring them to a wire cooling rack to cool completely.
10. Finally, melt the remaining dairy-free chocolate chips. Drizzle the melted chocolate generously over the cooled cookies. And then? Devour them immediately!
11. Store any leftover cookies at room temperature in a sealed container or a ziplock bag to maintain their freshness and chewiness. They are best enjoyed within a few days.

Everything is definitely fun and yum at SmashMallow!
