Decoration Tips
For an extra indulgent presentation, top each cookie with additional pieces of chopped chocolate and marshmallow before baking. You can even toast the tops of the marshmallows lightly with a kitchen torch for that authentic campfire feel. Serve the cookies warm for maximum gooeyness and chocolate melt, or add a sprinkle of flaky sea salt for a gourmet touch. For a fun twist, you can drizzle some melted chocolate over the top after baking to give them an even richer finish.
Ingredients:
- 120g all-purpose flour
- 90g crushed graham crackers
- ¼ tsp ground cinnamon
- ¾ tsp cornstarch
- Pinch of salt
- ½ tsp baking soda
- ¼ tsp baking powder
- 113g unsalted butter, softened
- 120g brown sugar
- 1 large egg
- 11 large marshmallows
- 2 oz semi-sweet chocolate bar, chopped
- 100g semi-sweet chocolate chips
Instructions:
- Cream the butter and sugar:
In a large mixing bowl, combine the softened butter and brown sugar. Mix together until the mixture becomes light and fluffy. - Add the wet ingredients:
Add the egg and vanilla extract to the butter mixture, beating until smooth and well combined. - Incorporate the dry ingredients:
Gradually add in the flour, crushed graham crackers, cinnamon, cornstarch, salt, baking soda, and baking powder. Use a spatula to fold everything together until a thick dough forms. - Fold in the chocolate:
Stir in the semi-sweet chocolate chips until evenly distributed throughout the dough. - Prepare the cookies:
Line a cookie sheet with parchment paper. Using a 2-ounce cookie scoop, scoop half of the dough and place it on the tray. Press a large marshmallow into the center of the dough and cover it with another portion of dough to seal the marshmallow inside. - Chill the dough:
Repeat this process for each cookie, then refrigerate the dough for 3-4 hours to allow the flavors to develop and the dough to firm up. - Bake the cookies:
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Once chilled, place the cookies on a prepared baking sheet, making sure to leave enough space between them. Top each cookie with additional chopped chocolate and pieces of marshmallow. - Bake to perfection:
Bake the cookies for 12 minutes, or until the edges are golden and the center is slightly underdone for that perfect gooey texture. Remove the cookies from the oven and let them cool slightly before serving.
Enjoy these indulgent chocolate s’mores cookies, packed with all the flavors of a classic s'more in every bite!
