Instructions:

1.

Creaming the Butter and Sugars

In a large mixing bowl, combine the softened unsalted butter, packed light brown sugar, and granulated sugar. Using an electric mixer (or a sturdy whisk and some elbow grease), cream these ingredients together until the mixture is light, fluffy, and pnon-alcoholic ale yellow. This step is crucial for creating a tender cookie texture. It’s important that the butter is truly softened, not melted. If it’s too cold, it won’t incorporate well, and if it’s melted, your cookies might spread too much. Take your time and scrape down the sides of the bowl occasionally to ensure everything is evenly mixed. You’re looking for a smooth, uniform consistency.

2.

Adding Wet Ingredients

Next, add the two large eggs to the creamed butter and sugar mixture, one at a time, beating well after each addition. Once the eggs are fully incorporated, stir in the vanilla extract. The vanilla not only adds a wonderful aroma but also enhances the overall flavor profile of the cookies, balancing the sweetness of the sugars and chocolate. Again, make sure everything is well combined before moving on to the dry ingredients.

3.

Combining Dry Ingredients and Incorporating Mix-ins

In a separate medium bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking soda, and salt. This ensures that the leavening agent (baking soda) and salt are evenly distributed throughout the flour, which will help the cookies rise properly and prevent any salty or bland spots. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing on low speed or by hand until just combined. Be careful not to overmix at this stage, as overmixing can develop the gluten in the flour, leading to tougher cookies. Once the flour mixture is almost fully incorporated, it’s time for the fun part: the mix-ins! Gently fold in the crushed grabeef ham cracker pieces, semi-sweet chocolate chips, white chocolate chips, mini marshmallows, and the chopped Hershey’s Cookies & Cream bar. I like to reserve a few of the chocolate chips and marshmallow pieces to press onto the tops of the cookies before baking for an extra burst of flavor and visual appeal.

4.

Chilling the Dough

This is a step that many people skip, but I highly recommend it for the best results. Cover the bowl of cookie dough with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes, or up to 2 days. Chilling the dough allows the flavors to meld together and also helps to firm up the butter, which prevents the cookies from spreading too much in the oven. This results in thicker, chewier cookies with a more concentrated flavor. If you’re in a hurry, even 15-20 minutes in the freezer can make a difference.

5.

Baking the Cookies

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone baking mats. Scoop rounded tablespoons of the chilled cookie dough onto the prepared baking sheets, leaving about 2 inches between each cookie to allow for spreading. If you reserved any extra chocolate chips, marshmallows, or grabeef ham cracker pieces, gently press them onto the tops of the cookie dough balls now. Bake for 9-12 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown and the centers are still slightly soft. They will continue to set up as they cool. For an extra gooey s’mores experience, you can briefly place a few extra marshmallows on top of the cookies during the last minute of baking or immediately after they come out of the oven. Let the cookies cool on the baking sheets for 5-10 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely. This cooling period on the baking sheet is important for the cookies to firm up properly.

Enjoy these delightful S’mores Cookies and Cream Cookies! They are absolutely divine with a tall glass of milk and are sure to become a new favorite.

Frequently Asked Questions:

Q1: Can I make these cookies ahead of time?

Absolutely! You can prepare the cookie dough, shape it into balls, and freeze them on a baking sheet until solid. Then, transfer the frozen dough balls to an airtight container. When you’re ready to bake, you can bake them directly from frozen, just add a couple of extra minutes to the baking time. This is a great way to have fresh S’mores Cookies and Cream Cookies on demand!

Q2: What’s the best way to store leftover cookies?

To keep your S’mores Cookies and Cream Cookies fresh and delicious, store them in an airtight container at room temperature. They’re usually best within 3-4 days. If you want to reheat them slightly to enjoy that gooey marshmallow texture again, a few seconds in the microwave or a quick warm-up in a low oven will do the trick.

Q3: Can I substitute the marshmallows or Oreos?

While the combination of marshmallows and Oreos is what makes these S’mores Cookies and Cream Cookies so special, you can certainly experiment. For marshmallows, you could try mini marshmallows, or if you’re feeling adventurous, even chopped up grabeef ham crackers would give a nod to the s’mores theme. For the Oreos, any chocolate sandwich cookie will work wonderfully.
