Ingredients

Scale

Cookie Dough

  • 12 tbsp unsalted butter, room temperature
  • 1 cup light brown sugar, packed
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 large egg, room temperature
  • 1 large egg yolk, room temperature
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
  • 1 1/2 cups + 3 tbsp all-purpose flour
  • 2/3 cup unsweetened dutch cocoa powder
  • 1/2 cup mini semi-sweet chocolate chips
  • 1 teaspoon fine sea salt
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking powder

Toppings and Filling

  • 22 large marshmallows
  • Graham cracker chunks and crumbs (for topping)
  • Dark chocolate bar pieces (for topping)

Instructions

  1. Cream Butter and Sugars: In a large mixing bowl, cream the softened unsalted butter with light brown sugar and granulated sugar together for 3 minutes until the mixture is light and fluffy, creating a smooth base for the cookie dough.
  2. Add Eggs and Vanilla: Mix in the large egg, egg yolk, and vanilla extract until just combined, ensuring the mixture is uniform without overmixing to maintain cookie tenderness.
  3. Combine Dry Ingredients: Gradually mix in the all-purpose flour, unsweetened dutch cocoa powder, mini semi-sweet chocolate chips, fine sea salt, baking soda, and baking powder until just incorporated to form a soft chocolate dough.
  4. Chill Dough: Cover the bowl tightly and refrigerate the dough for 1 hour to let it firm up, which helps with shaping the cookies later.
  5. Scoop and Flatten Dough: Using a standard two-tablespoon cookie scoop, scoop portions of dough onto a parchment-lined baking sheet. Flatten each scooped dough ball gently between your palms to prepare for filling.
  6. Insert Marshmallows: Place one large marshmallow long side down in the center of each flattened dough ball. Wrap and fold the dough up around the marshmallow, leaving the top of the marshmallow peeking through, creating a gooey center.
  7. Add Graham Cracker Topping: Place the wrapped dough balls back on the baking tray and sprinkle crushed graham cracker chunks and crumbs over the tops for that classic s’mores crunch.
  8. Second Chill: Chill the prepared cookie tray in the refrigerator for another 1 to 2 hours to ensure the dough is firm before baking. During this time, preheat the oven to 350°F (180°C).
  9. Bake Cookies: Bake the cookies spaced about 3 inches apart on a parchment-lined baking sheet for 10 to 11 minutes until the marshmallow is puffy and the cookie dough begins to crack slightly around the marshmallow’s edges.
  10. Shape and Add Chocolate: Immediately out of the oven, use a large round cookie cutter to gently push the edges of each cookie inward to make them perfectly round. Place a square piece of dark chocolate on top to melt slightly on the warm cookie.
  11. Cool and Serve: Allow the cookies to cool on a wire rack. Carefully remove each cookie from the parchment paper using a spatula if needed, as the marshmallow might stick. Enjoy the gooey, chocolatey s’mores cookies warm or at room temperature.

Notes

  • To measure flour accurately, spoon the flour into the measuring cup and level it off with a knife rather than scooping directly, to avoid adding too much flour and making cookies dense.
  • Chilling the dough twice is crucial for shape and texture, so do not skip the recommended chilling times.
  • If marshmallows are sticky or hard to wrap, slightly soften them by leaving at room temperature or warming briefly before assembling.
  • Use parchment paper or a silicone baking mat to prevent sticking, especially because of the marshmallow filling.
  • For an extra decadent cookie, use high-quality dark chocolate for topping.
