Ingredients
Scale
Cookie Base
- 1 1/2 cups gluten-free flour blend
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
Toppings
- 1 cup chocolate chunks or chips
- 1 1/2 cups mini marshmallows
Instructions
- Prepare the Dough: In a mixing bowl, combine the gluten-free flour blend with melted butter until a cookie dough forms. Mix until the dough is uniform and slightly sticky.
- Press Dough into Pan: Evenly press the dough into a greased 8×8-inch baking pan, creating a flat and even base layer for the cookie bars.
- Add Toppings: Sprinkle the chocolate chunks evenly over the pressed dough, then layer the mini marshmallows on top, ensuring an even coverage.
- Bake the Bars: Bake in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) for 20-25 minutes or until the marshmallows are golden and the cookie base is set and lightly browned on the edges.
- Cool and Serve: Allow the bars to cool completely in the pan to set. Once cooled, cut into squares and serve.
Notes
- Use gluten-free certified flour to ensure the bars are safe for gluten-sensitive individuals.
- You can substitute butter with a dairy-free alternative to make the recipe dairy-free if desired.
- For a richer flavor, use a combination of milk and dark chocolate chunks.
- Make sure not to overbake to keep the marshmallows gooey and soft.
