These s'mores cookies have all the flavor of the traditional campfire dessert, but without the need for a fire!

Ingredients

  • 1 cup cold salted butter, sliced in ¼ inch cubes
  • 1 ¼ cup light brown sugar, packed
  • ½ cup cane sugar
  • 2 ¼ cup all purpose flour
  • 1 cup graham cracker crumbs* (about 9 large crackers)
  • 1 teaspoon fine sea salt
  • 2 teaspoon cornstarch
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 tablespoon vanilla extract
  • 2 cup milk chocolate chips (I prefer Ghirardelli)
  • 6 large graham crackers
  • 12 marshmallows (the size used for campfire s'mores)
  • 1 XL Hershey's chocolate bar (only need 12 pieces)

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 400° F. Line two baking sheets with parchment paper and set aside.
  • Slice the salted butter into small, ¼ inch cubes. Add the cubed butter to a standing mixer, along with the light brown sugar and the cane sugar. Mix on medium speed for about 4-5 minutes, until there aren't any chunks of butter and the mixture is smooth.

  • In a separate bowl, whisk together the all purpose flour, graham cracker crumbs*, sea salt, cornstarch, and baking soda. Set aside.

  • Add the eggs and the vanilla extract to the standing mixer, then mix on medium speed until smooth (about 2 minutes). Scrape down the sides of the bowl halfway through to get an even mix.

  • Add the whisked dry ingredients to the standing mixer, and mix on the slowest speed. Before the dry ingredients are completely mixed in, add the milk chocolate chips. Stop the standing mixer as soon as the flour has been incorporated in to prevent overmixing.

  • Break the graham crackers in half, creating 12 squares. Place 6 on each baking sheet.

  • Divide the cookie dough into 12 even balls. Take each individual ball of cookie dough, and flatten it into a disk. Place a marshmallow at the center, and bring up the sides, remaking the dough into a ball shape. Don't worry about sealing the top completely--it's okay if a small bit of the marshmallow is visible.**

  • Place each ball of cookie dough (with marshmallow inside) on the center of each graham cracker square on the baking sheet. Press down slightly, covering the graham crackers.
  • Bake each baking sheet individually, for about 10-12 minutes each. Feel free to round out the edges of each cookie using either a round cookie cutter or a spoon when they come out of the oven.***
  • While the cookies are still warm, press a piece of Hershey's chocolate into the center of each. Let the cookies cool completely before eating.
    Enjoy!

Notes

*The graham cracker crumbs are to add flavor, not texture. Either using a food processor or placing the graham crackers in a Ziploc and using a rolling pin, break down the graham crackers until they are practically dust.
**Encasing the marshmallow in the dough helps the marshmallow to melt to the perfect consistency without hardening. However, in order to have the marshmallow crack through the top as seen in the photos, leave a slight crack at the top. After baking, you'll press a piece of Hershey's chocolate onto the top of the cookie, which will crack the cookie open more and expose more of the gooey marshmallow.
***These cookies spread quite a bit, and not in the most predictable ways because of the marshmallow interior. If you want the cookies to be perfectly round, using a large round cookie cutter or spoon to smooth out the edges is the easiest way to go. Just make sure you round them out within the first minute of removing them from the oven before they set completely.
