Description
Enjoy a nostalgic taste of summer with these thick, buttery cookies featuring a hidden gooey marshmallow center and crunchy graham cracker pieces. These heritage-style treats perfectly capture the essence of a campfire s’more in a portable, soft-baked form.
Ingredients
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1/2 cup brown sugar, packed
- 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
- 1 large egg
- 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1 pinch salt
- 1/2 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 3 large marshmallows (halved) or 6 mini marshmallows
- 4 graham cracker sheets
Instructions
- In a medium-sized mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking soda, and a pinch of salt.
- In a separate large bowl, beat the softened butter and granulated sugar for one minute, then add the brown sugar and continue beating until light and creamy.
- Add the egg and pure vanilla extract to the butter mixture and beat until well combined and glossy.
- Gradually add the dry flour mixture to the wet ingredients on the lowest mixer setting, mixing only until no white streaks remain.
- Gently fold the chocolate chips into the dough using a wooden spoon or spatula.
- Scoop out twelve portions of dough (about one tablespoon each); place a marshmallow piece between two portions and pinch the edges to seal the marshmallow completely inside, forming 6 large balls.
- Break three graham cracker sheets into 36 small pieces and press six pieces into the surface of each prepared dough ball.
- Place the cookie balls in the refrigerator to chill for at least thirty minutes.
- Preheat your oven to 350°F and bake the cookies on a large sheet for 11 to 13 minutes until the edges are light golden brown.
- Sprinkle crumbs from the remaining graham cracker sheet over the warm cookies and let them cool completely on the baking sheet to set the marshmallow.
Notes
To ensure the marshmallow stays inside the cookie, double-check that the dough seal is tight and there are no visible white spots before baking. If you prefer a more toasted flavor, you can briefly use a kitchen torch on the marshmallow centers if any part of them peek through the top after baking.
