In the spirit of summer, I decided to splurge on a classic summer tradition: smores. These flourless smores cookies are the perfect summer treat and don’t require a campfire.
These flourless delicacies are made with peanut butter, offering an extremely sweet and salty combo when mixed with chocolate chips and marshmallows. I used EnjoyLife dark chocolate chips and Dandies mini marshmallows. I ran out of my Trader Joe’s peanut butter, so I used Jif with great results. You can also make this with sun butter.
Pro Tip: If your peanut butter is oily, try to pat off any excess oil before baking or else the cookies will burn.
Besides the peanut butter and smores combo, I love that they’re stored in the freezer, making them perfect for bake-ahead. After a long hike I was craving a bite beyond belief. Lucky for me, it’s also National Smores Day! All I had to do was grab a cookie out of the freezer and let it sit for a few minutes before indulging.
