Ingredients
For the Cookies:
- 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour
- 1 cup graham cracker crumbs
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ½ cup unsalted butter (softened)
- ½ cup granulated sugar
- ½ cup brown sugar
- 1 large egg
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 cup milk chocolate chips
- 1 cup mini marshmallows
Preparation Tips
• Use graham cracker crumbs: These add the signature s’mores flavor to the cookie dough. You can crush whole crackers in a food processor or in a sealed bag with a rolling pin.
• Chill the dough: Refrigerating the dough for 30 minutes before baking helps prevent the cookies from spreading too much.
• Add marshmallows strategically: Press a few marshmallows on top of each cookie before baking for that toasted marshmallow effect.
Step-by-Step Instructions
Step 1: Preheat the Oven and Prep the Pan
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone mats.
Step 2: Combine the Dry Ingredients
In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, graham cracker crumbs, baking soda, and salt.
Step 3: Cream the Butter and Sugars
In a large bowl, beat the butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy. Mix in the egg and vanilla extract until smooth.
Step 4: Mix the Dough
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, stirring until just combined. Fold in the chocolate chips and half of the mini marshmallows.
Step 5: Shape and Bake
Scoop the dough into tablespoon-sized balls and place them on the prepared baking sheets about 2 inches apart. Press a few extra marshmallows onto the tops of each cookie. Bake for 8-10 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown and the marshmallows are lightly toasted. Let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack.
Make-Ahead & Storage
The cookie dough can be made up to 2 days in advance and stored in the refrigerator. Baked cookies can be stored in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days. For longer storage, freeze the dough balls and bake them fresh as needed.
Serving Suggestions
Serve these cookies slightly warm to enjoy the gooey marshmallow and melted chocolate. Pair them with a glass of milk or a cold iced latte for the perfect summer treat. For an extra campfire vibe, lightly toast a marshmallow and press it between two cookies for a fun s’mores sandwich.
