Ingredients

⅓ cup cocoa powder 30 grams
1 ½ cup plain flour/all purpose flour 225 grams
½ teaspoon bicarbonate of soda/baking soda
½ teaspoon salt
½ cup dairy free butter 125 grams
½ cup brown sugar
¼ cup white sugar 60 grams
1 egg
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
½ cup mini marshmallows 30 grams
½ cup peanuts 60 grams
½ cup chopped dark chocolate 80 grams

Instructions

Preheat the oven to 180°C/350°F and line 2 baking trays with baking paper. Set aside.
In a medium bowl, whisk together the cocoa powder, plain flour, bicarbonate of soda/baking soda, and salt until combined. Set aside.
In a large bowl, add the dairy free butter, brown sugar and white sugar and cream together using an electric hand mixer. Once combined, add in the egg and vanilla extract and continue mixing until well combined.
Add the dry ingredients to the wet, a little at a time beating between each addition until a dough forms.
Add the mini marshmallows, peanuts and chopped chocolate to the bowl and use a spatula to combine.
Scoop about 1.5 tablespoons of the cookie dough and roll into a balls. Place them evenly apart on the baking tray making sure there is enough space between each to allow for spreading in the oven.
Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the cookies have set around the edges but are still soft in the centre. Let cool on the baking tray for a few minutes to allow them to firm up before transferring to a cooling rack.
