Ingredients:
- 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1 cup brown sugar, packed
- 2 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 3 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 1 cup mini marshmallows
- 1 cup graham cracker crumbs
- 1/2 cup additional chocolate chips for topping (optional)
- 1/2 cup additional mini marshmallows for topping (optional)
Preparing the Dough
Let’s get started on these delicious S’mores Cracker Cookies! First, we need to prepare the dough. Follow these steps:
- In a large mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar. Use an electric mixer on medium speed for about 2-3 minutes until the mixture is light and fluffy.
- Add the eggs, one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Then, stir in the vanilla extract until everything is well combined.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking soda, and salt. Gradually add this dry mixture to the wet ingredients, mixing on low speed until just combined. Be careful not to overmix!
- Now, fold in the semi-sweet chocolate chips, mini marshmallows, and graham cracker crumbs using a spatula. This is where the magic happens, and you can already smell the deliciousness!
Chilling the Dough
To ensure our cookies have the perfect texture, we need to chill the dough for a bit. Here’s how:
- Cover the mixing bowl with plastic wrap or transfer the dough to an airtight container.
- Refrigerate the dough for at least 30 minutes. This step is crucial as it helps the cookies maintain their shape while baking.
Baking the Cookies
Now that our dough is chilled, it’s time to bake these delightful cookies!
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). While the oven is heating, line two baking sheets with parchment paper. This will prevent the cookies from sticking and make cleanup a breeze.
- Once the dough is chilled, use a cookie scoop or tablespoon to drop rounded balls of dough onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart. Don’t worry if they look a bit rustic; that’s part of their charm!
- If you want to add extra chocolate chips and mini marshmallows on top, now’s the time! Gently press a few into the tops of each cookie dough ball.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden. The centers may look slightly underbaked, but they will continue to cook on the baking sheet after being removed from the oven.
- Once baked, remove the cookies from the oven and let them cool on the baking sheets for about 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Assembling the S’mores Cracker Cookies
Now that our cookies are baked and cooled, it’s time to assemble them into the ultimate S’mores experience!
- Take one cookie and place a few mini marshmallows on top. If you want to get a little fancy, you can use a kitchen torch to toast the marshmallows lightly. Just be careful not to burn them!
- Next, add a piece of chocolate on top of the marshmallows. You can use a square of chocolate or even a few chocolate chips if you prefer.
- Finally, take another cookie and gently press it on top of the chocolate and marshmallows to create a sandwich. Repeat this process until all your cookies are assembled.
