    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.

    Cuisine American
    Servings 24 cookies

    Ingredients
      

    • 1 box gluten free chocolate cake mix
    • 2 whole eggs
    • ⅓ cup oil
    • ½ cup marshmallow bits
    • ½ cup chocolate chips

    Instructions
     

    • Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Lightly grease a cookie sheet or line with parchment paper and set aside.
    • In a bowl combine the cake mix, eggs and oil. Fold in the chocolate chips and marshmallow bits.
    • Roll the dough into tablespoon sized balls and place on baking sheet, leaving a couple of inches for the cookie to spread.
    • Bake at 350 degrees for 8-10 minutes. Remove from oven and allow to cool for several minutes prior to moving to a cooling rack to finish cooling.

    Notes

    Notes: Cookies can be stored in an airtight container for several days or in an airtight container in the freezer for up to one month. 
    Toasted Marshmallow: To add a toasted marshmallow on top, remove the cookies once done cooking. Cut a large marshmallow in half and immediately upon taking the cookies out of the oven turn oven to broil. Place the marshmallows on top of the cookie, then return the cookies back to the oven to broil until toasted on top (approximately 1-2 minutes). Remove from oven and allow to cool on the cookie sheet before moving to the cooling rack to finish cooling.

      These cookies were super quick and easy to make! I made them because I had a box of cake mix to use up. I'm so glad I used it on these cookies! They were perfect.

      This was so easy! I like to use King Arthur gluten free cake mix and it worked perfect in here. The kids really liked it.

      I replaced marshmallow bits with roasted almonds, and it turned out delicious. I love the crunchiness.
