Cookie Base
- 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1 cup brown sugar, packed
- 2 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Dry Ingredients
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- ½ teaspoon salt
Mix-ins
- 1 cup mini marshmallows
- 1 cup chocolate chips
- 1 cup crushed graham crackers
- Preheat Oven and Prepare Baking Sheets: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line your baking sheets with parchment paper to prevent sticking and ensure easy cleanup.
- Cream Butter and Sugars: In a large bowl, cream together the softened unsalted butter, granulated sugar, and packed brown sugar until the mixture is smooth and fluffy, which creates the base for your cookie dough.
- Add Eggs and Vanilla: Beat in the eggs one at a time, then mix in the vanilla extract, incorporating them thoroughly into the creamed butter and sugar mixture.
- Combine Dry Ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together all-purpose flour, baking soda, and salt to evenly distribute the leavening and seasoning elements.
- Mix Dry Ingredients into Wet: Gradually add the dry flour mixture into the wet ingredients, mixing just until combined to avoid overworking the dough and keeping cookies tender.
- Fold in Marshmallows, Chocolate, and Graham Crackers: Gently fold in the mini marshmallows, chocolate chips, and crushed graham crackers, distributing them evenly throughout the dough for that classic s’mores flavor and texture.
- Form Cookies: Drop rounded tablespoons of cookie dough onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart to allow for spreading.
- Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are set and the marshmallows on top are lightly toasted and golden.
- Cool: Remove from the oven and let the cookies cool on the baking sheets for a few minutes before transferring them to wire racks to cool completely, which helps them set perfectly.
Notes
- Do not overmix the dough once the dry ingredients are added to keep cookies tender.
- For extra gooey marshmallows on top, press a few mini marshmallows on each cookie dough ball before baking.
- Use parchment paper or silicone baking mats to prevent sticking and burning on the bottoms.
- Cookies are best enjoyed the same day but can be stored in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
- For a twist, try using dark chocolate chips or adding a pinch of cinnamon to the dough for a warm flavor.
