S’mores Chocolate Chip Cookies Recipe:
This recipe offers all the flavors of s’mores in an easy-to-make cookie format, perfect for any occasion where you want to bring a little extra sweetness.
Ingredients:
- 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 1/2 cup packed light brown sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup chocolate chips
- 1 cup mini marshmallows
- 1/2 cup crushed graham crackers
Directions:
- Cream Butter and Sugars: In a large bowl, use an electric mixer to cream together the softened butter, granulated sugar, and light brown sugar until light and fluffy. This base gives your cookies their soft, chewy texture.
- Add Eggs and Vanilla: Beat in the eggs one at a time, then mix in the vanilla extract to infuse the dough with a subtle sweetness.
- Combine Dry Ingredients: In another bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt. These ingredients ensure that the cookies bake up with the right texture and structure.
- Mix Dough: Gradually add the dry ingredients to the butter mixture, mixing until just combined. Be careful not to overmix, as this can lead to tough cookies.
- Fold in S’mores Ingredients: Gently fold in the chocolate chips, mini marshmallows, and crushed graham crackers. The marshmallows will melt into the cookies, creating that signature gooey s’mores texture.
- Shape and Bake: Drop rounded spoonfuls of dough onto parchment-lined baking sheets, leaving space between each cookie to allow for spreading. Bake at 375°F (190°C) for 9-11 minutes, or until the edges are golden but the centers remain soft.
- Cool: Let the cookies cool on the baking sheets for a few minutes before transferring them to wire racks to cool completely. This helps them set without falling apart.
