In this article, we'll take a closer look at how to make these mouthwatering cookies, from mixing the wet ingredients to broiling them to perfection.
First Things First: Mixing the Wet Ingredients
The first step in making s'mores cookies is to mix together the wet ingredients. This includes melted butter, beaten egg, sugar, and honey. To get started, simply melt the butter and let it cool slightly, then whisk in the beaten egg until well combined. Next, add in the sugar and honey, stirring until everything is smooth and creamy. Finally, drizzle in a little bit of vanilla extract to give the cookies an extra boost of flavor. As the narrator notes, "this basically is the s'mores version of a cookie everything that's great about s'mores all wrapped up in cookie form."
Mixing the Dry Ingredients
Before adding the wet ingredients to the mix, it's time to prepare the dry ingredients. This includes flour, ground graham cracker crumbs (a must-have for any s'mores recipe), baking powder, baking soda, and salt. To get started, simply measure out each ingredient and combine them in a bowl. The narrator notes that they "love this ingredient ground graham cracker crumbs can't have s'mores without graham crackers." By incorporating these dry ingredients into the mix, you'll create a cookie that's not only delicious but also authentic.
Combining Wet and Dry Ingredients
With both sets of ingredients ready to go, it's time to combine them. Simply add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients and stir until everything is well combined. The narrator notes that "I'm going to start stirring those together just to incorporate them." This step may seem simple, but it's an important one in ensuring that your cookies turn out light and fluffy.
Adding Chocolate Chips and Mini Marshmallows
The next step is to add some extra flavor and texture to the mix. The narrator notes that "beautiful chocolate chips and mini marshmallows because these are s'mores cookies." By incorporating these ingredients into the dough, you'll create a cookie that's not only delicious but also visually appealing. Simply press the chocolate chunks and marshmallows onto the top of the cookie dough before scooping it onto the baking sheet.
Scooping and Baking the Cookies
With the dough ready to go, it's time to scoop out the cookies. The narrator notes that "these are Big cookies" so be sure to use a generous amount of dough for each cookie. Simply press the dough onto a parchment-lined baking sheet and top with additional chocolate chunks or marshmallows if desired.
Baking the Cookies
The next step is to bake the cookies in a preheated oven at 350 degrees Fahrenheit for six minutes. The narrator notes that "you are not going to believe these cookies check it out oh my gosh those big chunks of chocolate on top are out of this world." During this time, simply rotate the baking sheets every two minutes to ensure even cooking.
Broiling the Cookies
After the initial baking time has passed, the cookies need a little extra heat to get them toasted and golden brown. The narrator notes that "I like to do one little final step I have big marshmallows and I cut them in half and I'm putting them cut side down right on top of the cookies." By broiling the cookies for an additional minute or two, you'll create a cookie that's perfectly toasted and golden brown.
Toasting the Marshmallows
The final step is to toast the marshmallows. The narrator notes that "most of the marshmallows in the cookies are just really soft and gooey inside but this step really drives that s'mores Point home." To toast the marshmallows, simply place them under the broiler for an additional minute or two, watching as they puff up and turn golden brown. This is the perfect finishing touch to your delicious s'mores cookies.
Conclusion
With these simple steps, you can create a batch of delicious s'mores cookies that are sure to impress. Whether you're a fan of classic campfire treats or just looking for a new snack to try, s'mores cookies are a great option. So go ahead and get baking – your taste buds will thank you!
