Step-by-step instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. In a large bowl, cream together the softened butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until fluffy.
  3. Beat in the eggs one at a time, adding the vanilla extract after the last egg. Mix until everything is smooth.
  4. In another bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking soda, and salt.
  5. Gradually mix the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients until just combined; be careful not to overmix.
  6. Gently fold in the chocolate chips, mini marshmallows, and broken graham cracker pieces.
  7. Using a cookie scoop or spoon, drop rounded dough onto a baking sheet lined with parchment paper, leaving enough space between each for spreading.
  8. Bake in the preheated oven for about 9 to 11 minutes, until the edges are lightly golden but the centers remain soft.

Best ways to enjoy it

These S’mores Cookies are delightful on their own, but why stop there? Serve them warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream on the side for an indulgent dessert. They pair wonderfully with a glass of cold milk or a steaming cup of cocoa, enhancing that cozy vibe. Feeling adventurous? Drizzle some melted chocolate or caramel on top for extra decadence.

Keeping leftovers fresh

To maintain the freshness of your S’mores Cookies, store them in an airtight container at room temperature. They’ll stay delectable for up to a week. If you have leftovers (which is unlikely!), you can refrigerate them for longer storage. For the ultimate convenience, freeze the cookie dough for later use. Just scoop it onto a baking sheet, freeze individually, and then transfer to a zip-top bag. Bake straight from the freezer—just add a minute or two to the baking time!

Helpful cooking tips

  • Chill the dough: If you have time, chill the dough for 30 minutes before baking. This helps prevent excessive spreading and results in thicker cookies.
  • Using parchment paper: Always line your baking trays with parchment paper for easy cleanup and to prevent sticking.
  • Don’t overbake: Keep an eye on your cookies; they’re best when they come out soft and chewy!

Creative twists

  • Peanut Butter S’mores Cookies: Swirl in 1/2 cup of peanut butter for a nutty variation.
  • S’mores Brownies: Layer the cookie dough on top of brownie batter in a baking dish for a double dessert treat.
  • Flavored Chips: Experiment with butterscotch or white chocolate chips alongside the chocolate for a new flavor profile.
