Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 1.5 cups gluten free all-purpose flour
- 10 tablespoons (148 milliliters) unsalted butter, melted
- 6 gluten free honey graham cracker squares, chopped
- 3 ounces (85 grams) dark chocolate bar, chopped
- 0.5 cup dark chocolate chips
Sweeteners and Binding Agents:
- 0.5 cup granulated sugar
- 0.5 cup dark brown sugar
- 1 large egg
- 1 large egg yolk
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
Leavening and Seasoning:
- 0.25 teaspoon baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoon baking soda
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 10–12 marshmallows, cut in half
- Flaky salt, to top
Instructions
- Carefully slice marshmallows in half, chop graham crackers into small, uniform chunks, and roughly chop chocolate into bite-sized pieces for an even distribution of mix-ins.
- Meticulously sift gluten-free flour, baking soda, baking powder, and salt into a medium mixing bowl, ensuring no lumps remain.
- In a separate large bowl, cream granulated sugar, dark brown sugar, and browned butter together until light and fluffy. Incorporate vanilla extract, then add whole egg and egg yolk, mixing until completely smooth and well-combined.
- Gently fold dry ingredients into the wet mixture, stirring until just incorporated. Delicately mix in prepared graham cracker pieces, marshmallow halves, and chocolate chunks.
- Refrigerate the cookie dough for a minimum of 30 minutes to allow flavors to meld and prevent excessive spreading during baking.
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or silicone baking mat.
- Using a cookie scoop, portion out dough and create small indentations in each cookie. Carefully nestle marshmallow halves into the center, then gently encase with surrounding dough and roll into uniform balls.
- Arrange cookies on prepared baking sheet, spacing approximately 2 inches apart to allow for potential spreading.
- Bake for 9-10 minutes until edges are lightly golden and centers appear slightly soft.
- Immediately after removing from oven, sprinkle flaky sea salt over the warm cookies for an enhanced flavor profile.
- Allow cookies to cool completely on the baking sheet to set their structure before transferring to a wire rack.
Notes
- Chilling the dough helps prevent spreading and intensifies the browned butter’s nutty flavor, creating a more complex cookie texture.
- Halving marshmallows prevents them from overwhelming the cookie and ensures even distribution throughout the treat.
- Browned butter adds a rich, caramel-like depth that elevates the classic s’mores flavor profile.
- Flaky sea salt provides a surprising contrast to the sweet marshmallows and chocolate, balancing the overall taste.
- Gluten-free flour blend ensures those with dietary restrictions can enjoy this nostalgic campfire-inspired dessert.
