Next time, I made these cookies with coconut oil and I could not believe the difference in the taste! These cookies are so soft in the middle, but crispy on the outside! I’ll always make these cookies with coconut oil from now on! YUMMY!

So, I made these sodium free S’mores cookies and I was AMAZED how good these healthy cookies were!

Preheat oven to 350 degrees
Add a sheet of parchment paper to a baking sheet
Gather supplies and recipe ingredients
Take a large bowl and add the room temperature coconut oil, the oil needs to be liquid
Add to the same bowl: brown sugar and eggs, mix until smooth
Add the dry ingredients of all-purpose flour, and baking soda, mix well. Keep mixing, because at first it feels dry, but keep mixing until it’s all blended in well.
Fold in chocolate chips, mini marshmallows and broken up graham crackers – TO COMPLETELY MIX ALL THESE INGREDIENTS IN, I HAD TO ACTUALLY USE MY HANDS AND COMBINE IT ALL TOGETHER.
Take cookie dough and roll into 1 tablespoon size dough ball or scoop up a tablespoon size with a cookie scoop and place on baking pan lined with parchment paper
Place the little balls at least 1 inch apart and gently press down a little bit the top of the cookie so they will flatten out.
Bake for approximately 10 minutes or until golden brown
Then, place onto a cooling rack and allow to cool

HERE’S A HUGE TIP!!!

The marshmallows disappear during the baking process which is ok and that is how I baked mine! BUT, if you want them to be seen and stay intact, lol, then add some marshmallows to the top right before you remove the cookies from the oven.
