These chewy gluten free cookies are back with melted marshmallow, chocolate chunks and bits of biscuit in homage to my favourite BBQ dessert. Gluten free s'mores galore!
Melt the butter in a bowl in the microwave (in 10-15 second intervals). Crush the Digestive biscuits into small pieces using either a pestle and mortar, or by placing them in a plastic bag and hitting them with a rolling pin. You want a mixture of small pieces and a few crumbs.
Add the melted butter and sugars to a large mixing bowl and beat with an electric whisk (or wooden spoon) until combined.
Add the egg to the mixture and beat again until it combines and forms a runny batter.
In a separate bowl, mix the gluten free flour, baking powder, bicarbonate of soda and xanthan gum. Sift the flour mix into the butter/sugar. Bring the mixture together using a wooden spoon.
Once the mixture starts to come together, add the chocolate chips and Digestive biscuits, reserving a few for placing on top of the cookies before baking.
Use your hands to bring the dough together. It should form a thick, sticky dough. Once it's completely mixed together, wrap the dough in clingfilm and refrigerate for at least one hour.
When ready to bake, preheat the oven to 180'C / Fan 170'C / Gas Mark 4. Line two baking trays with baking paper. Take the cookie dough from the fridge and divide it into 8 pieces.
Take a piece of the dough and flatten it into your hand. Place a marshmallow in the centre and roll the dough around it, using your hands to seal any gaps. Repeat until you have done this with all the dough.
Place 4-5 balls on a baking tray (you'll need plenty of space between them so I recommend doing this in batches. Keep any cookie dough balls still waiting to bake in the fridge until you're ready for them.)
Bake the cookies in the oven for 15-18 minutes. Remove from the oven and place a couple of extra chocolate chips and biscuit pieces carefully on top for decoration.
Allow the cookies to cool on the tray for 15-20 minutes before transferring to a baking tray to cool completely.
Notes
Weighing Scales vs Cups: You can toggle this recipe card to convert the ingredients into cups. However, I always recommend using weighing scales – these are cheap to buy and much more accurate. And in gluten free baking, a tiny variation can make a huge difference!

Storing: These cookies will keep for 3-5 days in an airtight container or can be frozen. I recommend stacking between sheets of baking paper so they don't stick.
