- 1 cup unsalted butter, softened - 3/4 cup granulated sugar - 3/4 cup packed brown sugar - 1 large egg - 2 teaspoons vanilla extract - 2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour - 1 teaspoon baking soda - 1/2 teaspoon salt - 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips - 1 cup mini marshmallows - 1 cup graham cracker crumbs For S'mores stuffed cookies, the right ingredients make all the difference. I always start with unsalted butter. It gives me control over the saltiness. I use a mix of granulated and brown sugar. This mix adds sweetness and a nice chewiness. Next, I add one large egg. It helps bind the dough. Don't forget the vanilla extract; it adds a warm flavor. Then, I measure out the flour, baking soda, and salt. The flour gives structure, while baking soda makes the cookies rise. Now for the fun part: the mix-ins! I love semi-sweet chocolate chips for a rich taste. Mini marshmallows bring that gooey texture. Lastly, graham cracker crumbs give a crunchy, sweet touch. These ingredients come together to create a delicious cookie that tastes just like a campfire treat. Make sure to have everything ready before you start baking! {{ingredient_image_1}} 1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. 2. In a large bowl, cream together the softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar. Mix until fluffy. 3. Beat in the egg and vanilla extract until it is well combined. 1. In another bowl, combine the flour, baking soda, and salt. 2. Gradually mix the dry ingredients into the wet mixture. Stir until you have a soft dough. 1. Use a cookie scoop or a tablespoon to portion half of the cookie dough onto the baking sheet. Leave space between each cookie. 2. Press a few mini marshmallows into the center of each dough portion. 3. Top with another scoop of dough, sealing the marshmallows inside. 1. Bake the cookies in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes. The edges should be golden brown. 2. The centers may seem soft; they will firm up as they cool. 3. Remove the cookies from the oven. Let them cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes. Then, transfer to a wire rack to cool completely. To make the best S'mores stuffed cookies, focus on the dough. Start with softened butter. This helps it mix well with sugars. Cream the butter and sugars until light and fluffy. This step is key for a nice texture. For soft and chewy cookies, do not overmix the dough. Mix just until combined. Overmixing makes cookies tough. Also, add a little extra brown sugar. This adds moisture and gives a nice chew. Using parchment paper is a must. It keeps cookies from sticking to the tray. It also helps cookies bake evenly. Place all cookie portions on the paper with space. This allows them to spread. Set your oven to 350°F (175°C). Watch for golden edges. The centers should look soft but not raw. If the edges are brown, your cookies are ready. Serve S'mores stuffed cookies warm. Stack them high on a platter. Drizzle melted chocolate over the top for a sweet touch. You can add graham crackers beside them. This makes a fun display for parties. For special occasions, use colorful plates. A sprinkle of mini marshmallows on top adds flair. This makes your cookies look even more tempting! Pro Tips Chill the Dough: For thicker cookies, refrigerate the dough for at least 30 minutes before baking. This helps prevent spreading and keeps the marshmallows intact. Use Fresh Ingredients: Ensure your baking soda is fresh for the best rise. Old baking soda can result in flat cookies. Experiment with Flavors: Add a touch of cinnamon or a pinch of sea salt to enhance the flavors of the chocolate and marshmallows. Store Properly: Keep cookies in an airtight container to maintain their softness. For longer storage, freeze them and reheat in the oven. {{image_2}} You can change the flavors of your S'mores Stuffed Cookies. Try using dark or white chocolate instead of semi-sweet. Each type gives a unique taste. You can also use flavored marshmallows, like strawberry or caramel. These swaps add fun twists to your cookies. If you need gluten-free cookies, use almond or coconut flour. These flours work well and keep the cookie tasty. For vegan options, swap the butter with coconut oil and use a flax egg instead of a regular egg. This way, everyone can enjoy these treats. Mix in nuts or dried fruits for a new texture. Walnuts or pecans add a nice crunch. Dried cherries or cranberries give a sweet surprise. You can also try different cookie dough flavors. Chocolate chip dough or peanut butter dough can change the whole vibe of your cookies. To keep your S'mores Stuffed Cookies fresh, follow these simple tips: - Cool completely: Let the cookies cool on a wire rack before storing. - Use an airtight container: This helps keep them soft and chewy. - Layer with parchment paper: If stacking, place parchment paper between layers to avoid sticking. I recommend using a plastic or glass container. Both types work well for storage. Freezing S'mores Stuffed Cookies is easy and great for later enjoyment. Here’s how: - Flash freeze first: Place the cookies on a baking sheet in a single layer. Freeze until solid, about 2 hours. - Transfer to a freezer bag: Place the frozen cookies in a zip-top bag. Remove as much air as possible. - Label with date: Write the date on the bag to keep track of freshness. When you’re ready to enjoy, thaw them at room temperature. This keeps their taste and texture just right. Enjoy your warm, gooey cookies! Can I make the dough ahead of time? Yes, you can make the dough ahead of time. Just wrap it in plastic wrap and chill it in the fridge. It can last up to three days. This way, you save time when you want to bake. How long do S'mores Stuffed Cookies last? S'mores Stuffed Cookies can last up to a week when stored properly. Keep them in an airtight container at room temperature. If you want them to last longer, you can freeze them. Why did my cookies spread too much? Cookies may spread too much if the butter is too warm. Make sure it’s softened but not melted. Also, check your flour measurement. Too little flour can cause spreading. How do I know when the cookies are done? You know the cookies are done when the edges look golden brown. The centers may seem soft but will firm up as they cool. Trust your instincts and don’t overbake. What can I use instead of graham cracker crumbs? You can use crushed cookies like vanilla wafers or digestive biscuits. They will give a similar flavor and texture. Just crush them finely for the best results. Can I omit the chocolate chips or marshmallows? Yes, you can omit them if you prefer. The cookies will still taste great without them, though they lose that classic S’mores charm. You can substitute with other mix-ins like nuts or dried fruit. You’ve learned how to make delicious S’mores Stuffed Cookies with simple steps. From the key ingredients to the baking process, each step adds to the fun. Use tips for texture and serving to impress your family. Remember, you can customize the flavors or adjust for diets. Store cookies properly to keep them fresh longer. This sweet treat is easy and tasty, perfect for any occasion. Enjoy baking these cookies and sharing them with friends!
