Skip the sticky mess with these s'mores cookies. This recipe is super easy to make, and you probably have all of the ingredients already in your refrigerator and pantry.

What You Will Need

• Unsalted butter, at room temperature. Be sure to use butter that is completely softened, this helps with the overall texture and spread of the cookie. This recipe has salt in it so if you are using salted butter omit the salt from the recipe.
• Eggs
• Vanilla extract. Using real vanilla is always best for flavor but it can be substituted for imitation.
• All-purpose flour
• Granulated sugar and light brown sugar. Both sugars are necessary for their own reasons. Brown sugar brings a delicious depth of flavor from the molasses in it and granulated sugar adds to the cookies texture.
• Chocolate chips. Here you can use whatever kind you prefer, I use semi-sweet, but you can use milk chocolate if you like.
• Graham cracker crumbs. You can find these already made at the store or you can make your own with whole graham crackers. Just toss them in a food processor and pulse until you reach crumb consistency.
• Mini marshmallows are best for this recipe, I find that larger marshmallow make the cookie dough spread too much and cause the cookie to fall apart. If you only have large marshmallows, you can cut them into smaller pieces.

Tips for Making Cookies

Using softened butter is important when making these cookies. The butter needs to be completely soft at room temperature. This will allow for proper creaming of the butter and sugar. Which helps create the perfect spread and texture to this cookie dough.

Creaming the butter and sugar. This is one of the most important steps to making cookies. Properly creamed butter and sugar should be light in color an become fluffy. This will greatly improve the texture of your cookies.

Do not overmix your cookie dough. Overmixing will create a tougher dough. Mix just until the flour is fully incorporated.

Baking the cookies. The cookies will continue to cook after the have been removed from the oven. This is called carry over cooking. Pulling the cookies from the oven while the center is slightly under, and the edges have browned lightly will ensure that you end up with perfectly baked cookies every time.
