Dough Ingredients
- 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1 cup brown sugar, packed
- 2 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
Add-ins
- 1 cup chocolate chips
- 1 cup miniature marshmallows
- 1 cup crushed graham crackers
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent sticking and make cleanup easier.
- Cream Butter and Sugars: In a large mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until the mixture is light and fluffy, which usually takes about 2-3 minutes with an electric mixer.
- Add Eggs and Vanilla: Incorporate the eggs one at a time, mixing thoroughly after each addition to ensure a smooth batter. Then stir in the vanilla extract for added flavor.
- Mix Dry Ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking soda, and salt. Gradually add these dry ingredients to the wet mixture, stirring gently until just combined to avoid overmixing.
- Fold in Add-ins: Carefully fold in the chocolate chips, miniature marshmallows, and crushed graham crackers until they are evenly distributed throughout the dough.
- Portion Dough: Using a cookie scoop or tablespoon, drop rounded portions of cookie dough onto the prepared baking sheet. Space them about 2 inches apart to allow for spreading.
- Bake: Bake the cookies in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes or until the edges start to turn lightly golden. The centers may appear slightly underbaked; this will ensure they remain soft and gooey once cooled.
- Cool: Remove the baking sheet from the oven and let the cookies cool on it for 5 minutes. Then transfer the cookies to a wire rack to cool completely.
- Add Extra Marshmallows: For extra gooeyness, immediately after removing the cookies from the oven, press a few additional miniature marshmallows on top of each cookie while still warm.
Notes
- Use room temperature butter for easier creaming and better texture.
- Do not overmix the dough to keep cookies tender.
- If miniature marshmallows are unavailable, chop large marshmallows into small pieces.
- Cool cookies on the baking sheet first to help them set and avoid breaking.
- Store cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days to maintain freshness.
- For a gluten-free version, substitute all-purpose flour with a gluten-free flour blend.
