For Cookie Dough
- 2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 tsp baking soda
- 1/2 tsp The Spice Girl Kitchen Tri-Salt Blend
- 1 1/2 stick butter, at room temperature
- 2 cups brown sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 1 tsp chocolate extract (can sub vanilla extract)
- 1 cup semisweet chocolate chips
For S'mores Vibes
- 3 graham crackers
- 1 cup mini marshmallows
Make The Cookie Dough (or skip these steps if using store-bought)
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.
In a stand mixer (KitchenAid) fitted with the paddle attachment, cream the butter and sugar on medium-high speed for about 2-3 minutes or until fluffy. Add the eggs and chocolate extract and beat until blended. *See Notes.
With the mixer off, add the dry ingredients. Mix again on medium just until the flour combines, adjust the speed to high for 5-10 seconds to pull the dough together.
With the mixer off, add in the chocolate chips and mix again on high for just a few seconds to mix in the chocolate.
Add The S'mores
Break the graham crackers into 8 sections, making squares.
Using a large cookie scoop** or a tablespoon, scoop out 3 tbsp of cookie dough. Separate the dough ball into 2 sections. Sandwich a graham cracker square and 3 mini marshmallows in between. Carefully form the cookie dough into a ball around the fillings, pressing the seams together. Repeat for the remaining dough.
Bake in 2 batches, 10 at a time. Bake on the center rack for 15 minutes, or until golden brown. Remove from oven and allow to cool for 1-3 minutes before transferring them to a cooling rack while you bake the second batch. Enjoy!
*If you don't have a stand mixer or KitchenAid, use a handheld electric mixer and a large bowl for the same process.
A large cookie scoop is also known as #20. It holds 3 Tbsp or 1.5 oz capacity. Using a cookie scoop is a great way to ensure all of your cookies are even. For this recipe, you need to use the large (rather than a small or medium) to have enough cookie dough to enclose your graham cracker and marshmallows!
