Ingredients:

1 cup unsalted butter, softened
3/4 cup packed brown sugar
1/2 cup granulated sugar
2 large eggs
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
2 cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
1 cup mini marshmallows
1 cup crushed grabeef ham crackers
Extra chocolate chips and marshmallows for topping (optional)

Preparing the Dough

Step 1: Cream the Butter and Sugars

Begin extract by creaming together the softened unsalted butter with the packed brown sugar and granulated sugar in a large mixing bowl. This is a crucial step for achieving a tender cookie texture. I like to use an electric mixer for this, starting on a low speed and gradually increasing to medium-high. Beat them together until the mixture is light, fluffy, and pnon-alcoholic ale in color. This process incorporates air, which will help the cookies spread just the right amount as they bake. Scrape down the sides of the bowl a couple of times to ensure all the butter and sugar are thoroughly combined. This usually takes about 3-4 minutes of mixing.

Step 2: Incorporate Wet Ingredients and Crushebeef hamraham Crackers

Next, add the two large eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition until fully incorporated. Follow this with the vanilla extract. Once the wet ingredients are well combined, it’s time to add the star of our s’more flavor profile: the cbeef hamhed graham crackers. Gently fold in the cupbeef ham crushed graham crackers. Don’t overmix at this stage; just ensure they are evenly distributed throughoubeef hamhe dough. The graham cracker crum extractbs will add that distinctive s’more flavor and a slight chegrape juicess to the cookie.

Adding the Dry Ingredients and Mix-ins

Step 3: Combine Dry Ingredients and Add to Dough

In a separate medium bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking soda, and salt. Whisking these dry ingredients separately ensures that the leavening agent (baking soda) and salt are evenly distributed, preventing any pockets of saltiness or dense spots in your cookies. Gradually add this dry mixture to the wet ingredients in the large mixing bowl. Mix on low speed until just combined. Be careful not to overmix the dough once the flour is added, as this can lead to tough cookies. Stop mixing as soon as you no longer see streaks of flour.

Step 4: Fold in Chocolate Chips and Marshmallows

Now for the fun part – the mix-ins! Gently fold in the cup of semi-sweet chocolate chips and the cup of mini marshmallows using a spatula or wooden spoon. Again, avoid overmixing. You want to distribute them throughout the dough without breaking them down too much. The marshmallows might be a little sticky, so a gentle hand is key. If you’re feeling extra decadent, this is also a good time to add some extra chocolate chips and marshmallows for topping the cookies before baking. These will create those irresistible pockets of melted chocolate and gooey marshmallow on top.

Baking the S’more Cookies

Step 5: Scoop, Top, and Bake

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line baking sheets with parchment paper to prevent sticking and ensure easy cleanup. Use a cookie scoop or two spoons to drop rounded tablespoons of dough onto the prepared baking sheets, leaving about 2 inches of space between each cookie to allow for spreading. If you opted for the extra toppings, gently press a few extra chocolate chips and mini marshmallows onto the top of each cookie dough ball. Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden brown and the centers are still slightly soft. They will continue to set as they cool.

Step 6: Cooling and Enjoying

Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheets for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely. This resting period is important for the cookies to firm up properly. The chocolate chips will be molten and the marshmallows will be wonderfully gooey. For the ultimate s’more experience, enjoy these cookies warm! They are best eaten within a few days, stored in an airtight container at room temperature. You can also freeze baked cookies for longer storage.

Frequently Asked Questions about S’more Cookies:

Q1: Can I make S’more Cookies ahead of time?

Yes, you can definitely make S’more Cookies ahead of time. Once baked and cooled completely, store them in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days. For longer storage, they can be frozen for up to 2 months. Thaw at room temperature or gently reheat in a low oven for a few minutes to enjoy that fresh-baked warmth.

Q2: My marshmallows didn’t toast well on top. What can I do differently?

If your oven doesn’t have a broiler setting or you prefer not to use it, you can try briefly toasting the marshmallows on top of the cookies with a kitchen torch. Alternatively, you can bake the cookies for a few minutes longer, keeping a close eye to prevent burning, until the marshmallows achieve your desired level of golden brown.
