The Best S’mores Cookies
Description
The Best S’mores Cookies feature a traditional cookie dough base made with butter, brown sugar, and flour. The dough includes mini marshmallows, chocolate chips, and chopped graham crackers stirred in gently to preserve the texture of the crackers. The key step is chilling the dough for 30 minutes to control spreading during baking. The cookies bake at 375°F until the edges turn golden, giving a slight crispness that contrasts with the soft, chewy center. The flavor balance comes from the caramel notes of brown sugar, the sweetness of marshmallows, and rich chocolate.
This recipe yields a batch of cookies that work well for sharing at gatherings or as an everyday sweet. They can be stored in an airtight container for several days while maintaining their texture. Adjustments like swapping sugars or adding sea salt flakes can tweak the taste slightly according to preference.
Following the note about chilling the dough and spacing the cookies properly is important to achieve the right texture and prevent spreading too thin. Alternative add-ins like peanut butter chips or M&M's can add variety, but the core combination of s’mores-inspired flavors remains central to this recipe.
Ingredients
- 1 ½ ticks butter softened (12 tablespoons)
- 1 cup brown sugar
- 1 large egg
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 ¾ cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- ½ cup mini marshmallows
- ½ cup chocolate chips
- ⅓ cup graham crackers chopped
Instructions
- In a large mixing bowl, mix together the butter and sugar. (you can use a whisk or electric mixer)
- Then mix in the egg and vanilla extract.
- Next add the flour and baking soda. Stir or beat until flour is just mixed in and no large lumps remain.
- Add in chocolate chips, marshmallows, and graham crackers and gently stir, trying not to break the crackers.
- Place the dough in the refrigerator for 30 minutes to chill so that the dough will not spread too much when baking. DO NOT SKIP this important step.
- Preheat the oven to 375° F while dough is chilling and line a baking sheet with parchment paper
- Once dough has chilled, scoop 1 ½ - 2 tablespoon size balls of dough onto the lined baking sheet, spacing them at least 2 inches apart so they don't touch while baking.
- Bake for 12-14 minutes or until the edges are golden brown.
- Remove from the oven and allow to cool on the tray for 10 minutes or until room temperature.
Notes
- Chilling the dough for 30 minutes before baking helps prevent spreading and preserves cookie shape.
- Store the cookies in an airtight container for up to 4-5 days to maintain freshness.
- If using unsalted butter, add ½ teaspoon of salt to the dough for balanced flavor.
- Either brown sugar or a mix of brown and white sugars can be used based on sweetness preference.
- Mini or regular-sized chocolate chips can be used depending on desired texture.
- For a different twist, mix in other chips like peanut butter or butterscotch chips, and consider topping with flaky sea salt if desired.
