Ingredients

Scale

Cookie Dough

  • 10 tablespoons butter, room temperature
  • 1/2 cup brown sugar
  • 1/4 cup white sugar
  • 1 egg, room temperature
  • 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/3 cup semisweet chocolate chips
  • 1 Hershey’s bar, chopped
  • 1/2 cup crumbled graham crackers
  • 1/2 cup mini marshmallows

Topping (Optional)

  • Additional chopped Hershey’s bars
  • Additional crumbled graham crackers
  • Additional mini marshmallows

Instructions

  1. Cream the Butter and Sugars: In a large bowl, use a hand mixer or stand mixer to cream together the room temperature butter, brown sugar, and white sugar until the mixture is light and fluffy.
  2. Add the Egg: Beat in the room temperature egg until just combined, ensuring not to overmix.
  3. Combine Dry Ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, and baking soda. Gradually add this dry mixture to the wet ingredients and mix until just combined.
  4. Fold in the Mix-ins: Gently fold in the semisweet chocolate chips, chopped Hershey’s bar, crumbled graham crackers, and mini marshmallows to the dough to distribute them evenly.
  5. Chill the Dough: Cover and refrigerate the dough for 1 hour to let it firm up, which helps maintain cookie shape during baking.
  6. Preheat the Oven and Prepare Baking Sheet: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper for easy cleanup.
  7. Scoop the Dough: Using a tablespoon or cookie scoop, portion about 2 tablespoons of dough for each cookie and place them spaced about 2 inches apart on the prepared baking sheet.
  8. Bake the Cookies: Bake for approximately 10 minutes or until the edges start to turn golden brown.
  9. Add Optional Toppings: If desired, during the last 2 minutes of baking, carefully sprinkle extra mini marshmallows, crumbled graham crackers, and chopped Hershey’s bar pieces on top of each cookie to get that melty, toasted effect.
  10. Cool and Shape: Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for 7-8 minutes to set. While still warm, use a cookie cutter to gently shape the cookies into rounds for a neat finish.
  11. Serve and Enjoy: Once cooled completely, serve these decadent s’mores cookies and enjoy a delightful twist on a classic treat.

Notes

  • Room temperature butter and egg ensure the dough mixes evenly and results in a tender cookie texture.
  • Chilling the dough helps prevent the cookies from spreading too much during baking, maintaining a thicker chewy center.
  • Adding toppings in the last few minutes of baking gives them a toasted, melty finish reminiscent of campfire s’mores.
  • Use parchment paper or silicone baking mats to prevent sticking and ease cleanup.
  • Store baked cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days for best freshness.
