Wet Ingredients
- 1 cup unsalted butter (room temperature)
- 1 cup dark brown sugar
- 1/2 cup white sugar
- 2 eggs (room temperature)
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Dry Ingredients
- 3 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1 teaspoon kosher salt
Add-ins and Toppings
- 1/2 cup semisweet chocolate chips
- 1/2 cup bittersweet chocolate chips (or chunks)
- 4 graham crackers (broken in half)
- 2 Hershey’s chocolate bars (or another chocolate of your choice)
- 8 large marshmallows
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) to ensure it reaches the perfect temperature for baking your cookies.
- Cream Butter and Sugars: Using a hand mixer or stand mixer, beat together the unsalted butter, dark brown sugar, and white sugar in a large bowl until the mixture is smooth and creamy. This process helps incorporate air for a tender cookie texture.
- Add Eggs and Vanilla: Add the eggs one at a time along with the vanilla extract, mixing until fully combined and smooth.
- Combine Dry Ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking soda, and kosher salt. Gradually add this dry mixture to the wet ingredients, mixing just until incorporated to avoid overworking the dough.
- Fold in Chocolate Chips: Gently fold in both the semisweet and bittersweet chocolate chips to distribute them evenly throughout the dough.
- Chill Dough: Refrigerate the dough for 30 minutes to firm it up, which will make it easier to handle and help prevent spreading during baking.
- Assemble Cookies: Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Arrange the graham cracker halves evenly spaced on the sheet. Place two pieces of chocolate on each graham cracker half, then top each with one large marshmallow, creating a classic s’more stack.
- Cover with Dough: Using a scoop or spoon, cover each marshmallow and graham cracker mound with a generous portion of cookie dough, pressing the dough over and around the mound to form large cookies. This will create eight cookies in total.
- Bake: Bake the cookies in the preheated oven for 12 to 15 minutes or until the edges turn golden brown and the marshmallow inside is melty.
- Cool and Serve: Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely. Enjoy these indulgent s’mores-inspired cookies warm or at room temperature.
Notes
- For best results, use room temperature butter and eggs to ensure even mixing.
- Press dough firmly over the marshmallow to fully encase it, preventing it from spilling out during baking.
- Substitute chocolate types based on preference, such as milk chocolate or white chocolate.
- Store cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days for freshness.
- Rewarm cookies briefly in the oven or microwave to revive gooey marshmallows before serving.
