Image by RachH on Ingredients:
  • 25g all-purpose flour
  • 20g brown sugar (or white sugar)
  • Pinch of salt
  • Pinch of baking soda
  • Half a pinch of baking powder
  • 10ml beaten egg
  • 8ml melted butter
  • 1/4 tsp vanilla extract
  • 2 tbsps of chocolate chips
  • 1 strip of graham crackerย (crushed)
  • 1 tbsp of mini marshmallows
  • optional – extra marshmallows for topping

This recipe yields 2 cookiesโ€”perfect for a quick, satisfying treat.


Instructions:

  1. Crush the graham crackers. Take one strip of graham cracker, place it in a plastic bag, and crush it into small crumbs using a rolling pin or your hands. Set the crushed graham crackers aside.
  2. Mix the dry ingredients. In a small bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, brown sugar (or white sugar), salt, baking soda, and baking powder. This is the base for your cookie dough.
  3. Add the wet ingredients. Stir in the beaten egg, melted butter, and vanilla extract until the dough starts to come together.
  4. Fold in the sโ€™mores magic. Gently fold in the chocolate chips, crushed graham cracker crumbs and mini marshmallows into the dough. This is what gives these cookies their classicย s’mores flavor!
  5. Form the dough. Divide the dough into two equal-sized portions and shape them into cookie dough balls.
  6. Bake. Preheat your oven to 180ยฐC (350ยฐF). Place the cookie dough balls on a lined baking tray and bake for 8-10 minutes, or until the cookies are golden brown on the edges and the marshmallows have puffed up and started to brown. Optional: add marshmallows on top and return the cookies back to bake for an extra 2 minutes to melt the marshmallows.
  7. Cool and enjoy. Let the cookies cool on a wire rack for a few minutes. The marshmallows will be gooey and the graham crackers will give the cookies a nice crunchโ€”just like a classic sโ€™more!
