Ingredients:

• 1 cup (226g) unsalted butter, softened to room temperature
• ¾ cup (150g) granulated sugar
• ¾ cup (150g) light brown sugar, firmly packed
• 1 large egg, plus 1 additional egg yolk, both at room temperature
• 2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
• 2¾ cups (345g) all-purpose flour, carefully spooned into your measuring cup and leveled
• 1 teaspoon baking soda
• 1 teaspoon cornstarch
• 1 teaspoon kosher salt
• ⅓ cup finely ground grabeef ham cracker crum extractbs (from about 3-4 full-sizbeef hamraham crackers)
• 1½ heaping cups chocolate chips (a mix of milk, semi-sweet, or dark is wonderful)
• 8 full-size marshmallows, each cut in half horizontally
• 16 soft caramels (like Werther’s Origin extractal), with each caramel cut into 3 smaller pieces

Preparing the S’mores Cookie Dough

Creaming the Butter and Sugars

1. In a large mixing bowl, combine the softened unsalted butter with the granulated sugar and the packed light brown sugar. Using an electric mixer (either a stand mixer with a paddle attachment or a hand mixer), beat these ingredients together on medium speed for about 3 to 5 minutes. You’re looking for a light, fluffy, and pnon-alcoholic ale mixture. This creaming process is crucial for creating tender cookies with a good texture, as it incorporates air into the dough. Scrape down the sides of the bowl occasionally to ensure everything is evenly mixed.

Adding Wet Ingredients and Dry Ingredients

2. Once the butter and sugar mixture is nicely creamed, add the room-temperature large egg and the egg yolk one at a time, beating well after each addition until fully incorporated. Stir in the vanilla extract. Next, in a separate medium bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking soda, cornstarch, kosher salt, and the finely beef hamund graham crum extractker crumbs. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing on low speed until just combined. Be careful not to overmix the dough at this stage, as overmixing can develop the gluten in the flour, leading to tough cookies. You should have a soft, slightly sticky dough.

Assembling the S’mores Cookies

Incorporating the Mix-ins

3. Gently fold in the chocolate chips using a sturdy spatula or wooden spoon. Ensure they are evenly distributed throughout the dough. At this point, you can also add the pieces of caramel. It’s helpful to distribute them as evenly as possible, but don’t worry too much about perfection, as they will melt and spread during baking. The goal is to have pockets of gooey caramel within the cookie.

Adding the Marshmallow and Caramel Centers

4. Now comes the fun part – creating the s’mores magic! Take about 2 tablespoons of the cookie dough and flatten it slightly in your palm. Place one of the halved marshmallows onto the flattened dough, cut-side down. Then, nestle 2-3 pieces of the cut caramels on top of the marshmallow. Carefully bring the edges of the dough up and around the marshmallow and caramels, sealing them completely to form a ball. You want to ensure the filling is fully enclosed so it doesn’t ooze out too much while baking, but it’s okay if a tiny bit peeks through. Repeat this process with the remaining dough, marshmallows, and caramels. This step requires a little patience, but it’s what gives these cookies their signature gooey, melted center.

Baking the S’mores Cookies

Baking and Finishing Touches

5. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone baking mats to prevent sticking. Place the formed cookie dough balls onto the prepared baking sheets, leaving about 2 inches of space between each cookie to allow for spreading. Bake for 9 to 12 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown and the centers are still slightly soft and puffy. It’s important not to overbake them if you want that wonderfully gooey marshmallow and caramel center. For an extra touch, once the cookies are out of the oven, you can immediately press a few extra chocolate chips onto the tops of the warm cookies, and if you have any leftover caramel pieces, you can strategically place them on top as well. Let the cookies cool on the baking sheets for about 5-10 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely. The residual heat will continue to cook the centers slightly.

Frequently Asked Questions:

Q: Can I make the S’mores Cookies ahead of time?

Absolutely! You can prepare the cookie dough and refrigerate it for up to 2-3 days before baking. Alternatively, you can freeze the dough balls for up to 3 months. Just thaw them in the refrigerator overnight and bake as directed. Baked cookies can be stored in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.

Q: My marshmallows are burning! How can I prevent this?

This is a common challenge! To prevent marshmallow burning, you can try a few things. Firstly, ensure your oven temperature is accurate. You might also want to slightly underbake the cookies, and then place a few extra marshmallows on top for the last 1-2 minutes of baking, watching them very closely. Some bakers also find success by toasting the marshmallows separately under a broiler or with a kitchen torch before placing them on the cookies.
