If you can’t find an ingredient, don’t worry. You have options! - Use coconut flour instead of all-purpose flour for a gluten-free version. - Swap the unsalted butter for coconut oil for a dairy-free treat. - Use honey or maple syrup in place of granulated sugar. These substitutions can still keep your cookies delicious. For the complete recipe, refer to the Full Recipe. First, gather all your ingredients. You will need: - 1 cup all-purpose flour - 1/2 teaspoon baking soda - 1/4 teaspoon salt - 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened - 1/2 cup brown sugar, packed tightly - 1/4 cup granulated sugar - 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract - 1 large egg, at room temperature - 1 cup graham cracker crumbs - 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips - 1 cup mini marshmallows Make sure you measure each ingredient correctly. This helps your cookies turn out great. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. This keeps the cookies from sticking. In a medium bowl, whisk the flour, baking soda, and salt. Set it aside. In a large bowl, cream the softened butter and sugars. Use an electric mixer on medium speed. Mix until it’s light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes. Then, add the vanilla extract and egg. Beat until smooth. Now, slowly add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture. Mix on low speed until just combined. Be careful not to overmix. Next, gently fold in the graham cracker crumbs. After that, mix in the chocolate chips and marshmallows. Make sure they are evenly spread throughout the dough. Using a cookie scoop or a tablespoon, drop rounded dough onto the baking sheet. Leave about 2 inches of space between each cookie. This allows them to spread. Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes. Look for lightly golden edges and soft centers. Once baked, remove the cookies and let them cool for about 5 minutes. After that, transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely. Each bite will remind you of a classic s'mores treat. Enjoy! For the complete recipe, check out the Full Recipe section. To get the right texture, use room temperature butter. This helps the cookies spread nicely. Mix the butter and sugar until light and fluffy. This adds air, making your cookies soft. If you want a chewier cookie, add more brown sugar. The moisture in brown sugar keeps them soft. Always preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). This ensures even baking and better texture. Bake your cookies for 10-12 minutes. Keep an eye on them. They should be golden on the edges but soft in the center. If your cookies spread too much, try chilling the dough for 30 minutes before baking. When mixing, combine wet and dry ingredients gently. Overmixing can lead to tough cookies. Stir until just blended. Use a spatula to fold in the graham cracker crumbs, chocolate chips, and marshmallows. This ensures even distribution of flavors without making the dough tough. Remember, less is more when mixing! {{image_4}} You can make gluten-free s'mores cookies with just a few swaps. Use gluten-free flour instead of all-purpose flour. You can find blends that work well for baking. Ensure your graham cracker crumbs are also gluten-free. Many brands offer gluten-free options. The texture may change slightly, but the taste remains rich and gooey. To create vegan s'mores cookies, replace butter with a plant-based option. Use coconut oil or vegan butter. For the egg, try a flaxseed or chia seed egg. Mix one tablespoon of flaxseed meal or chia seeds with three tablespoons of water. Let it sit for a few minutes until it thickens. Use dairy-free chocolate chips and marshmallows for a full vegan experience. You’ll get all the sweet, gooey goodness without any animal products. You can switch up the chocolate to fit your taste. Try dark chocolate chips for a richer flavor. White chocolate chips add a sweet twist if you prefer a milder taste. You can even mix different types of chocolate for more depth. Consider adding chunks of chocolate bars for a more decadent treat. Each option gives your s'mores cookies a unique flair, so feel free to experiment! To keep your baked S'mores Cookies fresh, place them in an airtight container. This method keeps them moist and tasty. You can stack the cookies with parchment paper between layers. Avoid storing them in a warm spot, as this can make them lose their charm. If you want to save some cookies for later, freezing is a great option. First, let the cookies cool completely. Then, place them in a single layer on a baking sheet. Freeze them for about an hour. Once frozen, transfer the cookies to a freezer bag. This way, they stay fresh for up to three months. When you want one, just take it out and let it thaw at room temperature. Baked S'mores Cookies last for about a week at room temperature in an airtight container. If stored correctly, they can remain delicious for longer in the freezer. Always check for any signs of spoilage before enjoying. Keeping track of the date helps you know when to eat them, ensuring you savor every bite. You can use crushed digestive biscuits or vanilla wafers instead of graham cracker crumbs. Both options provide a sweet and buttery flavor that works well in S'mores Cookies. If you want a gluten-free version, try using almond flour or gluten-free cookies. The taste will differ slightly, but the cookies will still be tasty and fun. If you want to skip baking soda, use baking powder instead. Replace the baking soda with 1 teaspoon of baking powder. This change will help your cookies rise and stay soft. You can also adjust the salt to 1/2 teaspoon to balance the flavors. Make sure to follow the Full Recipe for more guidance. Yes, you can use larger marshmallows! Just cut them into smaller pieces before mixing them into the dough. This helps the marshmallows melt evenly. Keep in mind that larger marshmallows may take longer to bake and could make your cookies a bit gooey. For best results, stick to the mini marshmallows, as they mix in perfectly.

Ingredients
  

1 cup all-purpose flour

1/2 teaspoon baking soda

1/4 teaspoon salt

1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened to room temperature

1/2 cup brown sugar, packed tightly

1/4 cup granulated sugar

1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract

1 large egg, at room temperature

1 cup graham cracker crumbs

1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips

1 cup mini marshmallows

Instructions
 

Begin by preheating your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent the cookies from sticking.

    In a medium-sized bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking soda, and salt until well combined. Set this mixture aside for later use.

      In a large mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter with the packed brown sugar and granulated sugar using an electric mixer. Beat the mixture on medium speed until it becomes light and fluffy, which should take about 2-3 minutes.

        Add the pure vanilla extract and the large egg to the butter mixture. Continue to beat until everything is thoroughly incorporated and the mixture is smooth.

          Gradually add the dry ingredients from the first bowl to the wet ingredients. Mix on low speed until just combined, being careful not to overmix to keep the cookies tender.

            Gently fold in the graham cracker crumbs until they are evenly distributed within the cookie dough.

              Carefully mix in the semi-sweet chocolate chips and mini marshmallows. Ensure that they are well incorporated throughout the dough for an even distribution of flavors.

                Using a cookie scoop or a tablespoon, drop rounded amounts of dough onto the prepared baking sheet, making sure to leave about 2 inches of space between each cookie to allow for spreading while baking.

                  Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for 10-12 minutes. Look for the edges of the cookies to turn lightly golden, while the centers remain soft to the touch.

                    Once baked, remove the cookies from the oven and let them cool on the baking sheet for approximately 5 minutes. Then, transfer the cookies to a wire rack to cool completely.
