S’mores-Stuffed Chocolate Chip Cookies

Step-by-step instructions

1. Preheat the oven: Start by preheating your oven to 350°F (175°C). This ensures your cookies will bake perfectly.

2. Cream the butter and sugars: In a large mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until the mixture is light and fluffy.

3. Add the eggs: Beat in the eggs one at a time, ensuring everything is well combined. Add in the vanilla extract and mix until it’s smooth.

4. Combine dry ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt. This helps evenly distribute the leavening agent.

5. Mix wet and dry: Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, mixing until just combined. Do not overmix!

6. Fold in chocolate chips: Gently fold in the semisweet chocolate chips, making sure they are evenly distributed throughout the dough.

7. Stuff the cookies: Take a small amount of cookie dough and flatten it in your hand. Place a few pieces of graham crackers and a handful of mini marshmallows in the center. Carefully fold the dough around the filling and shape it into a ball, ensuring all filling is enclosed.

8. Bake: Place the stuffed cookies on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown.

9. Cool down: Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely. Enjoy!

Best ways to enjoy it

These S’mores-Stuffed Chocolate Chip Cookies are delightful on their own, but why not elevate the experience? Serve them warm with a scoop of ice cream for an indulgent dessert. A drizzle of chocolate sauce on top or a sprinkle of sea salt can bring out the flavors even more. Pair them with a glass of cold milk for that classic cookie experience!

How to store & freeze

To keep your cookies fresh, store them in an airtight container at room temperature. They can generally last for about a week. If you want to save them longer, you can freeze the unbaked dough! Just scoop the cookie dough onto a baking sheet, freeze until solid, then transfer the dough balls to a freezer-safe bag. When you’re ready to bake, you can bake them straight from the freezer; just add a couple of extra minutes to the baking time.

Helpful cooking tips

• Use room temperature ingredients: For the best texture in your cookies, ensure your butter and eggs are at room temperature before you begin.
• Don’t skip the chilling: If your cookie dough seems too sticky, it can help to chill it in the fridge for about 30 minutes.
• Experiment with fillings: For a fun twist, try different kinds of chocolate or add peanut butter cups instead of graham crackers for a different flavor profile.

Creative twists

There are many ways you can customize this recipe! Swap out semisweet chocolate chips for milk, dark, or even white chocolate. You can also add crushed nuts for added crunch or use flavored marshmallows like chocolate or strawberry for an exciting twist on the classic s’mores flavor.
