Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 1 cup mini marshmallows
- 1 cup crushed graham crackers
Sugars and Sweeteners:
- 3/4 cup packed brown sugar
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
Binding and Flavoring Ingredients:
- 2 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
Optional Topping:
- Extra chocolate chips
- Extra marshmallows
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper, ensuring even heat distribution and easy cookie removal.
- In a large mixing bowl, thoroughly cream softened butter with brown and granulated sugars until the mixture becomes light, airy, and pale in color.
- Incorporate eggs individually into the butter-sugar mixture, beating well after each addition, then blend in vanilla extract for enhanced flavor complexity.
- Separately whisk flour, baking soda, and salt to eliminate potential lumps and ensure even ingredient distribution.
- Gradually integrate dry ingredients into the wet mixture, stirring gently until just combined to maintain a tender cookie texture.
- Delicately fold chocolate chips, mini marshmallows, and crushed graham crackers into the dough, distributing ingredients evenly throughout.
- Scoop generous dollops of cookie dough onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them approximately 2 inches apart to allow for spreading.
- Optionally embellish each cookie with extra chocolate chips and marshmallows for enhanced visual appeal and gooey texture.
- Bake for 10-12 minutes until cookie edges turn golden brown, maintaining slightly underbaked centers for a soft, chewy consistency.
- Remove from oven and let cookies rest on the baking sheet for 5 minutes to stabilize, then transfer to a wire rack for complete cooling.
Notes
- Toast graham crackers lightly before crushing to enhance their nutty, caramelized flavor and add depth to the cookie’s texture.
- Use room temperature eggs and butter for smoother, more even cookie dough that blends perfectly and creates a consistent texture.
- Chill dough for 30 minutes before baking to prevent excessive spreading and maintain thick, chunky cookie shape.
- Try different chocolate varieties like dark, milk, or white chocolate to customize the s’mores flavor profile and suit personal preferences.
