Ingredients
Scale
Wet Ingredients
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 1/2 cup brown sugar
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1 large egg
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Dry Ingredients
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup graham cracker crumbs
Add-ins
- 1 cup mini marshmallows
- 3/4 cup milk or semi-sweet chocolate chips
Instructions
- Preheat and Prepare: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent sticking and ensure even baking.
- Cream Butter and Sugars: In a large mixing bowl, cream together the softened unsalted butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until the mixture is light and fluffy, which helps create the cookie’s tender texture.
- Add Egg and Vanilla: Beat in the large egg and vanilla extract until the mixture is smooth and well combined, adding moisture and flavor to the dough.
- Combine Dry Ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking soda, salt, and graham cracker crumbs to evenly distribute the leavening agents and flavor components.
- Mix Dry into Wet: Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, stirring gently until just combined to avoid overworking the dough and toughening the cookies.
- Fold in Chocolate and Marshmallows: Carefully fold in the chocolate chips and mini marshmallows, ensuring even distribution while preserving their shapes.
- Shape Cookies: Scoop rounded tablespoons of the dough onto the prepared baking sheet, placing them about 2 inches apart to allow for spreading during baking.
- Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for 9 to 11 minutes, or until the edges turn lightly golden while the centers remain soft for that perfect chewy texture.
- Cool: Let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes to firm up before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Notes
- For gooier marshmallows, press a few extra on top of each cookie before baking for a melty topping.
- You can also toast the marshmallows under the broiler for a smoky flavor that mimics a campfire.
- These cookies capture the classic s’mores flavor and are perfect for indoor cozy treats any time of year.
