Ingredients
Scale
Wet Ingredients
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 1/2 cup brown sugar
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1 large egg
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Dry Ingredients
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup graham cracker crumbs
Add-ins
- 1 cup mini marshmallows
- 3/4 cup milk or semi-sweet chocolate chips
Instructions
- Preheat and Prepare: Preheat your oven to 350°F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent sticking and ensure even baking.
- Cream Butter and Sugars: In a large mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until the mixture is light and fluffy. This incorporates air and creates a tender cookie base.
- Add Egg and Vanilla: Beat in the egg and vanilla extract until the mixture is smooth and well combined, which helps bind the ingredients together.
- Mix Dry Ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking soda, salt, and graham cracker crumbs. This ensures even distribution of leavening agents and flavor.
- Combine Wet and Dry Ingredients: Gradually add the dry mixture into the wet mixture, stirring until just combined to avoid overmixing which can make cookies tough.
- Fold in Chocolate and Marshmallows: Gently fold in the chocolate chips and mini marshmallows to distribute them evenly throughout the dough without breaking up the marshmallows.
- Scoop Dough onto Sheet: Using rounded tablespoons, drop the cookie dough onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart to allow room for spreading.
- Bake Cookies: Bake in the preheated oven for 9 to 11 minutes or until the cookie edges turn lightly golden while the centers remain soft to achieve a chewy texture.
- Cool the Cookies: Let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes to set before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely, enhancing their structure and flavor.
Notes
- For gooier marshmallows, press a few extra on top of each cookie dough ball before baking.
- Toast the marshmallows under the oven broiler for a smoky, campfire flavor—watch carefully to avoid burning.
- These cookies are perfect for recreating indoor s’mores anytime during the year.
