Ingredients
Scale
Cookie Dough
- 1/2 cup butter (melted)
- 1/2 cup brown sugar
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1 large egg
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 1 1/2 cups flour
- 1/3 cup graham cracker crumbs
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 graham cracker (broken into small pieces)
Toppings
- 12 mini Hershey’s bars
- 12 marshmallows
Instructions
- Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) to ensure it reaches the right temperature for baking the cookies evenly.
- Mix Butter and Sugars: In a mixing bowl, combine the melted butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar. Stir well to create a smooth, uniform mixture that will help achieve a rich cookie base.
- Incorporate Egg and Vanilla: Beat the large egg and vanilla extract into the butter-sugar mixture until fully blended, which adds moisture and enhances flavor.
- Add Dry Ingredients: Gradually stir in the flour, graham cracker crumbs, baking soda, and salt until all ingredients are thoroughly combined to form the cookie dough.
- Mix in Graham Cracker Pieces: Fold in the broken graham cracker pieces evenly throughout the dough to infuse classic s’mores crunch and texture.
- Shape Dough Balls: Scoop the dough into 12 evenly sized balls and place them on a large baking sheet, spacing them to allow for spreading during baking.
- Bake Cookies: Bake the cookies in the preheated oven for approximately 10 minutes until edges are lightly golden and centers are set.
- Add Chocolate Topping: Remove the cookies from the oven and gently press one mini Hershey’s bar onto the top of each cookie, ensuring some coverage for melting.
- Top with Marshmallows and Broil: Place one marshmallow on each chocolate-topped cookie. Return the baking sheet to the oven and broil on high for 1-2 minutes, watching carefully until marshmallows toast to a golden brown.
- Serve: Allow the cookies to cool slightly, then serve immediately to enjoy the melty gooey texture at its best.
Notes
- When broiling marshmallows, watch closely to avoid burning as they can toast quickly.
- You can substitute mini marshmallows with larger ones cut in half if preferred.
- For a more intense chocolate flavor, try using dark chocolate mini bars instead of Hershey’s milk chocolate.
- Store leftover cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.
- To keep cookies softer, add an extra tablespoon of butter to the dough.
