Scale
Primary Ingredients:
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- ½ cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- ½ cup unsalted butter
- ½ cup granulated sugar
- ½ cup brown sugar
- 1 cup chocolate chips
Binding/Flavor Ingredients:
- 1 large egg
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Supporting/Topping Ingredients:
- ½ teaspoon baking soda
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- 1 cup mini marshmallows
- ½ cup crushed graham crackers
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to exactly 350°F and prepare a standard 12-cup muffin tin with cooking spray.
- Whisk 1 cup flour, ½ cup cocoa powder, ½ teaspoon baking soda, and ¼ teaspoon salt in a medium bowl until completely combined.
- In a separate large bowl, cream ½ cup softened butter with ½ cup granulated sugar and ½ cup brown sugar until smooth and fluffy.
- Crack 1 large egg into the butter mixture and pour in 1 teaspoon vanilla extract, then blend thoroughly.
- Slowly incorporate the dry ingredient mixture into the wet ingredients, stirring until a consistent cookie dough forms.
- Fold 1 cup chocolate chips and ½ cup crushed graham crackers into the dough, distributing evenly.
- Scoop approximately 2 tablespoons of dough into each muffin cup, pressing gently to fill the bottom.
- Position 3-4 mini marshmallows in the center of each cookie cup, slightly pushing them into the dough.
- Slide the muffin tin into the preheated 350°F oven and bake for exactly 11 minutes until edges look set.
- Remove from the oven and allow the cookie cups to cool in the pan for 15 minutes before transferring to a wire rack.
Notes
- Graham cracker crumbs add amazing texture and authentic s’mores flavor to the cookie cups.
- Gently press marshmallows into the center of each cookie dough ball, leaving some space for them to expand while baking.
- For a clean release, spray the muffin tin generously with non-stick cooking spray or use silicone baking cups.
- These cookie cups taste best when served slightly warm, allowing the marshmallow and chocolate to remain soft and gooey.
