Ingredients

Dry Ingredients

  • 2 ½ cups (318 grams) all-purpose flour
  • 1 cup (8 full crackers or 120 grams) graham cracker crumbs
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1 teaspoon fine sea salt
  • ⅛ teaspoon cinnamon

Wet Ingredients

  • 2 sticks (226 grams) unsalted butter, at cool room temperature
  • ¼ cup (50 grams) granulated sugar
  • 1 cup (200 grams) light brown sugar
  • 2 large eggs, at cool room temperature
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Add-ins

  • 1 cup (170 grams) miniature chocolate chips
  • 1 ½ cups mini marshmallows
  • 2-3 milk chocolate candy bars, broken into pieces

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven and Prepare Baking Sheets: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line baking sheets with parchment paper to prevent sticking and ensure even baking.
  2. Mix Dry Ingredients: In a medium bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, graham cracker crumbs, baking soda, fine sea salt, and cinnamon until well combined for a balanced base flavor and texture.
  3. Cream Butter and Sugars: Using an electric mixer fitted with a paddle attachment, beat the softened butter, granulated sugar, and light brown sugar on medium-high speed until the mixture becomes light and fluffy, about 2 to 3 minutes, creating a creamy batter.
  4. Add Eggs and Vanilla: Add the eggs one at a time to the butter mixture, beating well after each addition. Then, mix in the vanilla extract to enhance the flavors.
  5. Incorporate Dry Mixture and Chocolate Chips: Gradually beat in the dry flour mixture until just combined. Gently fold in the miniature chocolate chips using a rubber spatula to evenly distribute them without overmixing.
  6. Scoop Cookie Dough: Use a medium spring-loaded cookie scoop to portion 1 ½ tablespoon sized balls of dough onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 1 ½ inches apart to allow spreading.
  7. Initial Bake: Bake the cookies for 6 to 7 minutes, until they have spread and just beginning to set around the edges but still soft in the centers, then remove from the oven.
  8. Add Marshmallows and Chocolate Pieces: Push 2 to 3 mini marshmallows and pieces of the milk chocolate candy bars into the top of each cookie for that gooey s'mores texture and flavor.
  9. Final Bake: Return the cookies to the oven and bake for an additional 3 to 4 minutes or until golden brown at the edges and the marshmallows are toasted and melted.
  10. Cool and Store: Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes, then transfer to wire racks to cool completely. Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.

Notes

  • For best texture, ensure butter and eggs are at cool room temperature before starting.
  • You can substitute mini marshmallows with regular marshmallows cut into smaller pieces if needed.
  • Adjust baking time slightly depending on your oven for perfect chewiness.
  • For a more intense chocolate flavor, use bittersweet or semi-sweet chocolate bars instead of milk chocolate.
  • These cookies can be frozen after baking for up to 1 month; thaw at room temperature before serving.
