Prep Time: 20 mins
Cook Time: 12 mins
Total Time: 32 mins
Cuisine: American
Serves: 24 cookies
Ingredients
- 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 1 cup brown sugar
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 cup graham cracker crumbs
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup chocolate chips
- 1 cup mini marshmallows
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
- In a large mixing bowl, cream together the softened unsalted butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar using an electric mixer on medium speed until the mixture is light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.
- Add the two large eggs, one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Then, stir in the vanilla extract until fully combined.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, graham cracker crumbs, baking soda, and salt until evenly mixed.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing on low speed until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
- Fold in the chocolate chips and mini marshmallows using a spatula or wooden spoon until evenly distributed throughout the cookie dough.
- Using a cookie scoop or tablespoon, drop rounded balls of dough onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart to allow for spreading.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden and the centers look slightly underbaked. The cookies will continue to firm up as they cool.
- Remove the baking sheets from the oven and let the cookies cool on the sheets for about 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
- Enjoy your delicious S'mores Cookies warm or at room temperature! Store any leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to a week.
Tips
- Make sure your butter is truly softened but not melted - this ensures the perfect cookie texture.
- Use room temperature eggs for better ingredient integration.
- Don't overmix the dough - this can lead to tough cookies.
- For extra marshmallow gooeyness, try adding a few marshmallows on top of each cookie right after baking.
- Use high-quality chocolate chips for a more decadent flavor.
- Allow cookies to cool slightly on the baking sheet before transferring to prevent breaking.
- For maximum freshness, store in an airtight container and consume within a week.
- Pro tip: These cookies freeze beautifully, so make a double batch and save some for later!
