How to Make Gooey S’mores Cookies
Ingredients:
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 1/2 cup light brown sugar, packed
- 1 large egg
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 1/3 cups all-purpose flour
- 3/4 cup graham cracker crumbs
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup semisweet chocolate chips
- 1 cup mini marshmallows
- 4-6 graham crackers, broken into pieces
Directions:
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone baking mats.
- In a large bowl, cream together the softened butter, granulated sugar, and light brown sugar until the mixture is light and fluffy.
- Add the egg and vanilla extract to the butter-sugar mixture. Beat until everything is well combined.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, graham cracker crumbs, baking soda, and salt.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, mixing until just combined.
- Gently fold in the semisweet chocolate chips and mini marshmallows until they are evenly mixed into the dough.
- Scoop tablespoon-sized balls of dough and place them onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
- Press a few pieces of broken graham crackers onto the tops of each cookie dough ball.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are set and lightly golden brown. The centers may still look slightly soft.
- Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheets for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
- Once cooled, enjoy your gooey S’mores cookies! They are best served warm and gooey with a glass of milk or your favorite hot beverage.

Tips to Make Gooey S’mores Cookies
- Make sure your butter is softened but not melted to get the best texture.
- Don’t overmix the dough once you add the dry ingredients. It should be just combined.

- Experiment with different types of chocolates, like milk chocolate or dark chocolate chips, for a different flavor!
