Total Time: 32 mins
Cuisine: American
Serves: 24 cookies
Ingredients
- 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 3/4 cup granulated sugar
- 3/4 cup brown sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 large eggs
- 2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup chocolate chips
- 1 cup mini marshmallows
- 1 cup graham cracker crumbs
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line two baking sheets with parchment paper to prevent the cookies from sticking.
- In a large mixing bowl, cream together the softened unsalted butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until the mixture is light and fluffy. This should take about 2-3 minutes using an electric mixer.
- Add the vanilla extract and the two large eggs to the butter-sugar mixture. Beat until well combined, scraping down the sides of the bowl as needed.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, 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, as this can lead to tough cookies.
- Fold in the chocolate chips, mini marshmallows, and graham cracker crumbs using a spatula or wooden spoon, ensuring that they are evenly distributed throughout the dough.
- Using a cookie scoop or tablespoon, drop heaping spoonfuls of dough onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart to allow for spreading.
- Bake the cookies in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden and the centers are set. The cookies may look slightly underbaked in the center, but they will continue to firm up as they cool.
- Remove the cookies from the oven and let them cool on the baking sheets for about 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
- Enjoy your delicious S'mores Chocolate Chip Cookies warm or at room temperature!
Tips
- Ensure your butter is truly softened but not melted - this creates the perfect cookie texture.
- Don't overmix the dough; this can lead to tough, dense cookies.
- Use parchment paper for easy cleanup and prevent sticking.
- For extra marshmallow gooeyness, slightly press a few marshmallows on top of each cookie before baking.
- Let cookies cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes to help them set properly.
- Store in an airtight container to maintain freshness for up to 5 days.
- For an extra indulgent touch, drizzle melted chocolate over cooled cookies.
