Description
These scientifically-engineered s’more cookies capture the essence of a campfire treat through a precise balance of textures and flavors. Featuring a chewy dough packed with crunchy graham crackers, gooey halved marshmallows, and classic Hershey’s chocolate, they offer a nostalgic experience with every bite.
Ingredients
- 1 cup unsalted butter, room temperature
- 3/4 cup granulated sugar
- 3/4 cup light brown sugar
- 1 large egg
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon cornstarch
- 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 cup mini marshmallows, torn in half
- 2 graham cracker sheets, roughly chopped
- 1 Hershey’s milk chocolate bar, chopped
- 1/2 cup semisweet chocolate chips
Instructions
- Roughly chop the Graham crackers and the Hershey’s bar into varied sizes and manually tear mini marshmallows in half.
- In a stand mixer, beat the room temperature butter with both sugars for approximately two minutes until pale and creamy.
- Add the egg and vanilla extract to the creamed mixture and mix until fully integrated and emulsified.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, salt, baking powder, baking soda, and cornstarch.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture on low speed until the flour streaks disappear.
- Reserve a few mix-ins for topping, then fold the remaining marshmallows, chocolate chips, and graham cracker chunks into the dough.
- Refrigerate the dough for at least one hour to allow the starches to hydrate and the fats to solidify.
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C) and portion the dough into two-tablespoon balls on a parchment-lined sheet.
- Bake for 8 minutes, then remove and press the reserved marshmallow and chocolate pieces into the tops of the warm cookies.
- Return to the oven for 2 to 3 minutes, then allow the cookies to set on the pan for 10 minutes before moving.
Notes
To ensure your cookies have the perfect structure, avoid over-mixing the dough once the dry ingredients are added. If you find the marshmallows spreading too much during the final minutes of baking, you can use a round cutter to gently reshape the cookies immediately after they come out of the oven.
