Instructions

Step 1

Preheat oven to 350F.

Step 2

Melt the butter and chocolate chips in a large bowl, either in a double boiler or in the microwave, stirring every 30 seconds. Whisk until smooth.

Step 3

Add the coconut sugar and eggs to the bowl and whisk until combined.

Step 4

Add the almond flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, and salt to the bowl. Whisk until combined.

Step 5

Chill for 30 minutes.

Step 6

Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and use two tablespoons or a cookie scooper to drop 8 balls onto the baking sheet. The cookie dough is pretty sticky so I found it easiest to use a cookie scooper to get round cookie dough balls.

Step 7

Bake for 8 minutes.

Step 8

Then, remove the baking sheet from the oven, press 3 marshmallows on the top of each cookie and bake for another 4 minutes.

Step 9

Remove the baking sheet from the oven and allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring to a cooling rack.

Step 10

Sprinkle with some chopped chocolate and enjoy!
