Timing

Making Gooey Skillet S’mores Cookie takes about 15 minutes for preparation and 25-30 minutes for baking.

Instructions

Step 1: Preheat Oven

1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).

Step 2: Make the Cookie Dough

1. Cream Butter and Sugars: In a large mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until light and fluffy.
2. Add Eggs and Vanilla: Beat in the eggs one at a time, then add the vanilla extract, mixing until well combined.
3. Combine Dry Ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt.
4. Mix Dry and Wet Ingredients: Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined.

Step 3: Add Mix-Ins

1. Fold in Chocolate and Graham Crackers: Gently fold in the chocolate chips, mini marshmallows, and crushed graham crackers until evenly distributed.

Step 4: Prepare the Skillet

1. Grease Skillet: Grease a cast-iron skillet (or oven-safe skillet) with cooking spray or butter.
2. Spread Cookie Dough: Press the cookie dough evenly into the bottom of the skillet.

Step 5: Bake

1. Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown and the center is set but still soft. The top should look slightly gooey.
2. Add Toppings: In the last 5 minutes of baking, add extra chocolate pieces and marshmallows on top for a gooey finish.
