5. How to Make Chewy S’mores Cookies for Sharing

Step 1: Prepare Your Oven and Mix

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). In a large mixing bowl, cream together 1 cup of softened unsalted butter, 1 cup of brown sugar, and ½ cup of granulated sugar until fluffy. Add 1 large egg and 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract, mixing until combined. The aroma of vanilla and melted butter will fill your kitchen—an inviting sign that you’re on the right track.

Step 2: Incorporate Dry Ingredients

In a separate bowl, whisk together 2 ½ cups of all-purpose flour, ½ teaspoon of baking soda, and a pinch of salt. Gradually add this to your wet mixture, stirring just until combined. The dough will be thick and slightly sticky, promising a chewy texture once baked.

Step 3: Add Chocolate and Marshmallows

Gently fold in 1 cup of chocolate chips and 1 cup of mini marshmallows. For extra s’mores authenticity, sprinkle some crushed graham crackers into the batter. Using a cookie scoop, portion out the dough onto a lined baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart. The dough might look rustic—don’t worry, these cookies are meant to be hearty and chewy.

Step 4: Bake to Perfection

Bake for 10-12 minutes, until edges are golden but centers remain soft. The scent of melting chocolate and toasted marshmallows will waft through your kitchen—sweet and inviting. Let the cookies sit for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack.

Step 5: Serve and Enjoy

These chewy s’mores bars are best enjoyed warm or at room temperature. The melty chocolate and gooey marshmallows create that classic s’mores experience in every bite. For an extra treat, drizzle with melted chocolate or sprinkle crushed graham crackers on top before serving.

6. Expert Tips for Success

• Use room temperature butter for even creaming and better cookie structure.
• Don’t overbake. The cookies will continue to firm up as they cool, keeping that chewy texture intact.
• Add extra marshmallows just before baking if you desire more gooey centers.
• For a richer chocolate flavor, swap in dark chocolate chips or chopped chocolate bars.

7. Variations & Substitutions

Yes, these cookies freeze well. Place them in an airtight container or freezer bag and enjoy within 3 months. To serve, thaw at room temperature or warm briefly in the oven or microwave.
