Ingredients
Wet Ingredients
- 1 cup butter, softened
- ¾ cup brown sugar
- ¾ cup sugar
- 2 eggs
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
Dry Ingredients
- 2 ¼ cups all-purpose flour
- ½ tsp baking soda
- ½ tsp baking powder
- ½ tsp salt
Add-ins
- 1 cup mini chocolate chips
- 1 cup mini marshmallows
- 8 sheets graham crackers, crushed
Instructions
- Mix wet ingredients: In a large bowl, beat together the softened butter, brown sugar, and white sugar until the mixture is light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes. Then add the eggs and vanilla extract, continuing to beat until well combined.
- Add dry ingredients and mix: To the wet mixture, add the all-purpose flour, baking soda, baking powder, and salt. Stir until the dough becomes smooth.
- Fold in add-ins: Gently fold in the mini chocolate chips, mini marshmallows, and crushed graham crackers into the dough, ensuring everything is evenly distributed.
- Chill the dough: Place the dough in the refrigerator to chill for about 1 hour, which helps the cookies hold their shape and prevents excessive spreading during baking.
- Prepare to bake: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.
- Form cookie balls: Scoop out the dough using a cookie scoop or tablespoon, shaping balls approximately 2 inches in diameter. Arrange them on the baking sheet about 3 inches apart. Optionally, press additional marshmallows, chocolate chips, and graham cracker pieces on top of each cookie for extra texture and flavor.
- Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for 8-10 minutes, until the edges are golden and the marshmallows begin to puff. Watch closely to avoid over-baking, as that will make the cookies crunchy instead of chewy.
- Cool the cookies: Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for 4-5 minutes to help the marshmallows firm up. Then transfer them to a wire rack to finish cooling completely.
- Store leftovers: Keep any leftover cookies in an airtight container for up to 3 days, though they are best enjoyed fresh and may not last that long!
Notes
- Chilling the dough is crucial for preventing the cookies from spreading too much.
- Do not over-bake; the cookies should be soft and chewy with slightly golden edges.
- Pressing additional toppings on top before baking boosts the visual appeal and flavor.
- Use mini marshmallows for even melting and texture in the cookies.
- Store cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for best texture and freshness.
