Instructions
Follow these easy steps to make your perfect batch of S’mores Cookies:
Prepare the Cookie Dough:
- Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line two baking sheets with parchment paper or lightly grease them to prevent sticking.
- Cream the Butter and Sugars: In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar together using an electric mixer until the mixture is light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.
- Add the Eggs and Vanilla: Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract.
- Combine the Dry Ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking soda, and salt.
- Mix the Wet and Dry Ingredients: Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Be careful not to overmix, as this can make the cookies tough.
- Add the Graham Crackers: Gently fold the graham cracker crumbs into the dough until they are evenly incorporated.
Add the Chocolate and Marshmallows:
- Stir in the Chocolate Chips: Add the chocolate chips to the dough, mixing until evenly distributed.
- Fold in the Marshmallows: Gently fold the mini marshmallows (or chopped regular marshmallows) into the dough, being careful not to break them apart.
Bake the Cookies:
- Scoop the Dough: Use a cookie scoop or tablespoon to drop rounded portions of dough onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
- Bake: Bake the cookies in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes or until the edges are golden brown and the center is set. Keep an eye on the cookies, as baking times may vary depending on your oven.
- Cool: Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheets for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Optional Topping:
- Add Sea Salt: For an extra touch of flavor, sprinkle a pinch of sea salt on top of the cookies immediately after baking. The salt enhances the sweetness and balances out the flavors.
