Before you start mixing ingredients, it’s crucial to preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). This step is often overlooked, but it is vital for baking success. Preheating ensures that your cookies begin baking at the right temperature, allowing them to rise properly and achieve that perfect golden-brown color. It also helps to create an even baking environment, preventing overcooking or undercooking.

Ingredients
  

1 cup unsalted butter, softened to room temperature

3/4 cup packed brown sugar

1/2 cup granulated sugar

1 large egg

1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract

2 cups all-purpose flour

1/2 teaspoon baking soda

1/2 teaspoon baking powder

1/4 teaspoon salt

1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips

1 cup mini marshmallows

1 cup graham cracker crumbs

Extra chocolate chips and mini marshmallows for topping

Instructions
 

Preheat the Oven: Set your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent sticking.

    Cream the Butter and Sugars: In a large mixing bowl, combine the softened butter, packed brown sugar, and granulated sugar. Use an electric mixer to beat the mixture on medium speed for about 2-3 minutes until it becomes light and fluffy.

      Add the Egg and Vanilla: Add in the large egg and pure vanilla extract. Continue mixing until the egg is fully incorporated and the mixture is smooth.

        Combine Dry Ingredients: In another bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking soda, baking powder, and salt. This helps to evenly distribute the leavening agents.

          Mix Wet and Dry Ingredients: Gradually add the dry ingredient mixture to the wet ingredients, mixing on low speed. Stir just until combined, taking care not to overmix; a few small lumps are perfectly fine.

            Fold in the Goodies: With a spatula, gently fold in the semi-sweet chocolate chips, mini marshmallows, and graham cracker crumbs until they are well distributed throughout the dough.

              Scoop the Dough: Using a cookie scoop or a tablespoon, drop rounded balls of dough onto the prepared baking sheet, making sure to leave about 2 inches of space between each cookie for expansion.

                Top Before Baking: For an extra decadent treat, press a few additional chocolate chips and mini marshmallows on top of each cookie.

                  Bake: Place the baking sheet in the oven and bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges of the cookies are lightly golden brown and the center appears slightly undercooked; they will firm up as they cool.

                    Cool on a Wire Rack: Remove the baking sheet from the oven and let the cookies cool on the sheet for 5 minutes. Then, transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely for the best texture.

                      Enjoy: Grab a warm, gooey S'mores Chocolate Chip Cookie and enjoy the melty chocolate, soft marshmallows, and crunchy graham cracker flavors coming together in a delightful treat!
