Ingredients

Scale

Cookie Dough

3/4 cup (167g) salted butter, softened
1/2 cup (115g) granulated sugar
1/2 cup (131g) brown sugar
1 egg
1 tbsp vanilla extract
2 cups (304g) all-purpose flour
1 tsp baking soda
1/2 tsp salt
2 cups (400g) chocolate chips
2 cups (128g) mini marshmallows

Graham Cracker Base

12 square graham crackers
1/3 cup (67g) melted butter

Topping

12 Hershey’s chocolate squares

Instructions

Preheat the oven: Set your oven to 375° F (190° C) to get it ready for baking your cookies to perfection.
Cream butter and sugars: Using a stand mixer or electric hand mixer, beat together the softened butter with granulated sugar and brown sugar until the mixture is smooth, light in color, and fluffy, which takes a few minutes to ensure good aeration.
Add egg and vanilla: Scrape down the sides of the bowl, then mix in the egg and vanilla extract thoroughly until fully combined for the cookie dough base.
Incorporate dry ingredients: Stop the mixer and add the all-purpose flour, baking soda, and salt. Mix just until combined, then fold in the chocolate chips and mini marshmallows evenly throughout the dough to distribute flavor and gooey bits.
Prepare the graham cracker base: Dip each graham cracker square into the melted butter, coating them completely, and place each one on a parchment paper or silicone-lined cookie sheet to form the base layer of each cookie.
Form the cookie dough layer: Scoop approximately 3 tablespoons of cookie dough and roll it into a ball. Flatten slightly and place it on top of each butter-coated graham cracker, taking care to keep marshmallows mostly inside the dough to prevent them from melting out during baking.
Bake the cookies: Place the cookie sheet in the preheated oven and bake the cookies for 9 to 11 minutes, or until they have spread and turned a beautiful golden brown color.
Add chocolate topping: Once out of the oven, let the cookies cool on the pan for 5 minutes. Then, gently press a Hershey’s chocolate square into the center of each cookie to melt slightly and add the finishing touch.
Cool and serve: Allow the cookies to cool completely on the pan so they set properly before serving. Enjoy your delicious s’mores cookies warm or at room temperature!

Notes

To keep marshmallows from melting out during baking, tuck them well inside the dough when placing on the graham crackers.
For easier handling, chill the dough slightly before rolling into balls if it feels too soft.
You can substitute semi-sweet chocolate chips with milk or dark chocolate chips based on preference.
Cool cookies completely to allow the chocolate squares to set nicely.
Use parchment paper or a silicone baking mat to prevent sticking and aid in cleanup.
