- 1 cup brown sugar
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 1 large egg

- 2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking soda

Instructions
Preheat the Oven
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Make the Dough
In a large bowl, cream together the softened butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until smooth. Beat in the egg and vanilla extract.
Combine Dry Ingredients
In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, mixing until just combined.
Add Mix-Ins
Fold in the chocolate chips, mini marshmallows, and crushed graham crackers.
Scoop and Bake
Scoop tablespoon-sized portions of dough onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart. Bake for 10-12 minutes or until the edges are golden.
Cool and Enjoy
Allow cookies to cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Once cooled, enjoy your delicious Smores Cookies!
Storage Tips
To keep your Smores Cookies fresh, store them in an airtight container at room temperature. They can last up to a week, but we’re betting they’ll be gone much sooner! If you want to extend their shelf life, consider freezing them. Just make sure they are completely cooled before placing them in a sealed bag or container. They can be frozen for up to three months and are perfect for a quick treat on busy days.
When you’re ready to enjoy frozen cookies, simply let them thaw at room temperature for about 15 minutes. If you prefer them warm, pop them in the microwave for a few seconds, and you’ll have that gooey, melty goodness back in no time.
Variations to Try
While the classic Smores Cookies are delicious as they are, there are many fun variations to explore. Consider adding different types of chocolate, such as dark chocolate or white chocolate chips, to customize the flavor to your liking. You can also incorporate peanut butter chips for a nutty twist that pairs beautifully with the other ingredients.
For an extra touch of decadence, try drizzling melted chocolate on top of the cooled cookies or sprinkling them with sea salt. These simple additions can elevate your cookies and create a gourmet experience that friends and family will rave about. Don't hesitate to get creative!
