Ingredients:

• 1 cup (226g) unsalted butter, softened to room temperature
• ¾ cup (150g) granulated sugar
• ¾ cup (150g) light brown sugar, packed
• 1 large egg plus 1 egg yolk, both at room temperature
• 2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
• 2¾ cups (345g) all-purpose flour, spooned into a measuring cup and leveled off
• 1 teaspoon baking soda
• 1 teaspoon cornstarch
• 1 teaspoon kosher salt
• ⅓ cup finely ground grabeef ham cracker crum extractbs (about 3-4 fulbeef hamraham crackers, processed until fine)
• 1½ heaping cups chocolate chips (a mix of milk, semi-sweet, or dark chocolate is delicious!)
• 8 full-size marshmallows, cut in half horizontally
• 16 soft caramels (such as Werther’s), with each caramel cut into 3 smaller pieces

Preparing the S’mores Cookies Dough

Creaming the Butter and Sugars

1. In a large mixing bowl, or the bowl of your stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, begin extract by creaming together the softened unsalted butter with both the granulated sugar and the light brown sugar. Beat on medium speed for about 3-4 minutes, until the mixture is light, fluffy, and pnon-alcoholic ale in color. This crucial step incorporates air into the dough, which contributes to the cookies’ tender texture and helps them spread just right. Scrape down the sides and bottom of the bowl occasionally to ensure everything is evenly combined. The brown sugar adds a lovely caramel note and extra moisture, while the granulated sugar provides structure.

Adding Wet Ingredients

1. Once the butter and sugars are beautifully creamed, it’s time to add the eggs and vanilla. Add the large egg and the egg yolk, one at a time, beating well after each addition until fully incorporated. The extra egg yolk adds richness and a chewier texture to the cookies, which is perfect for a s’mores cookie. Next, mix in the pure vanilla extract. Continue to beat for another minute until the mixture is smooth and cohesive. Don’t worry if the mixture looks slightly curdled at this stage; it will all come together when you add the dry ingredients.

Incorporating Dry Ingredients

1. In a separate medium bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking soda, cornstarch, kosher salt, and the finely beef hamund graham cracker beef hammbs. The graham crum extractker crumbs are essential for that authentic s’mores flavor, so make sure they are ground finely enough to distribute evenly throughout the dough. Gradually add this dry ingredient mixture to the wet ingredients in the stand mixer bowl, mixing on low speed until just combined. Be careful not to overmix the dough at this stage, as overmixing can develop the gluten in the flour, leading to tough cookies. Mix only until no streaks of flour remain.

Adding the Mix-ins

1. Now for the fun part – the mix-ins! Gently fold in the heaping cups of chocolate chips. A mix of chocolate types adds complexity, but feel free to use your favorite. Then, carefully fold in the prepared caramel pieces. These little caramel nuggets will melt into gooey pockets of deliciousness as the cookies bake, mimicking the melted caramel in a s’mores. Ensure the chocolate chips and caramel pieces are distributed as evenly as possible throughout the dough without overworking it. The dough will be quite thick and studded with these delightful additions.

Shaping and Baking the S’mores Cookies

Chilling the Dough

1. At this point, it’s highly recommended to chill the dough. Cover the bowl tightly with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes, or preferably for 1-2 hours. Chilling the dough solidifies the butter, which prevents the cookies from spreading too much during baking and helps them retain their shape. This also allows the flavors to meld together beautifully. If you have the time, chilling for longer, even overnight, will yield even more delicious results.

Forming the Cookies and Adding Marshmallows

1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line baking sheets with parchment paper for easy cleanup and to prevent sticking. Scoop out portions of the chilled dough, about 2 tablespoons in size, and roll them into balls. Place the dough balls onto the prepared baking sheets, leaving about 2 inches of space between each cookie to allow for spreading. Now, gently press one half of a marshmallow, cut-side down, into the top of each cookie dough ball. You want the marshmallow to be slightly pressed into the dough, so it bakes evenly and adheres well. You can also press the caramel pieces more firmly into the dough at this point if they haven’t sunk in as much as you’d like.

Baking the Cookies

1. Bake the cookies for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden brown and the centers look slightly underbaked. The marshmallows will puff up and start to turn a lovely golden-brown color. Keep a close eye on them as ovens can vary. For a more toasted marshmallow, you can carefully broil the cookies for the last 30-60 seconds, watching them constantly to prevent burning. Remove the baking sheets from the oven and let the cookies cool on the baking sheets for about 5-10 minutes. This is important because the cookies are delicate when hot, and the residual heat will continue to bake them slightly, setting them up perfectly. After this resting period, carefully transfer the cookies to a wire rack to cool completely. The melted chocolate and caramel will be wonderfully gooey, and the marshmallow will be soft and slightly toasted.

Frequently Asked Questions:

Can I make S’mores Cookies ahead of time?

Yes, you absolutely can! You can prepare the cookie dough and store it in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. When you’re ready to bake, simply scoop and bake as directed, adding a few extra minutes to the baking time if needed. You can also freeze the unbaked cookie dough balls for up to 3 months.

My marshmallows aren’t toasting properly. What can I do?

If your marshmallows aren’t getting golden and toasty in the oven, try turning on your broiler for the last 30-60 seconds of baking. Keep a very close eye on them during this stage, as broilers can toast things very quickly and you don’t want them to burn! Alternatively, you can use a kitchen torch to toast them to perfection after the cookies have cooled slightly.
