Chocolate Cake Mix

You will want a gluten free chocolate cake mix. This can be found at any major health food store, grocery retailer or online. It's pretty versatile, so you can choose the chocolate cake mix that will best fit your dietary needs.

Gluten Free Chocolate Cake Mix

Eggs

Eggs add a little bit of fluffiness to the cookies and help bind them together. You can use an egg replacer if you would like.

Oil

You can use melted coconut oil, canola or olive oil for this recipe.

Marshmallow Bits

Use marshmallow bits in this recipe, not marshmallows. Marshmallow bits are more like freeze dried marshmallows. If you use mini marshmallows, it won't make the cookies form right.

Marshmallow bits are easily found at local grocery stores for just a few dollars. But if you can't find them you can order them online.

Chocolate Chips

Everything tastes better with more chocolate. A few extra chocolate chips makes these cookies extra delicious! You can use dairy free chocolate chips if you need to.

Preheat the Oven

Before you can get to the good stuff, start by preheating the oven to 350 degrees fahrenheit. While the oven is heating up, you can begin combining all of the ingredients together in a large bowl. Make sure everything is thoroughly mixed before transferring it to a greased cookie sheet.

Combine Dry Ingredients in a Bowl

Start by placing the gluten free chocolate cake mix in a bowl. Mix all of these dry ingredients together in a bowl.

Add the Remaining Ingredients

Add the egg and oil to the mix and stir until combined. Fold in the marshmallow bits and chocolate chips.

Use an Ice Cream Scooper to Divide Dough into Cookies and Place on Baking Sheet

An easy and efficient way to divide the dough into even pieces is to use an ice cream scooper. This will help you create four-inch diameter circles and give your cookies a nice, round shape. Place each cookie on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper or a silicone baking sheet liner, making sure that they are spaced out by at least two inches.
